Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

c31-sxs scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

C31-sxs: Four Inquiries (四寻思观)

Core Function

Guide the user through the Yogācāra "Four Inquiries" (四寻思观) to deconstruct a specific emotion, event, or attachment across four layers. The goal is not to eliminate the emotion, but to let its "reality" be deconstructed — revealing that it is merely an arising of dependent conditions, a conventionally designated name with no fixed essence.

Trigger Recognition

Activate when the user explicitly says any of the following words, or asks to "deconstruct / analyze / contemplate" a particular anxiety, attachment, or emotion:

  • sxs
  • c31-sxs
  • 四寻思 / 四寻思观 (Four Inquiries)
  • 寻思 (inquiry / contemplation)
  • Asks to process a thought "through the Four Inquiries"

Workflow

  1. Confirm the target: Ask the user what object they wish to inquire into (a specific event / emotion / thought).
  2. Guide layer by layer: Follow the order Name → Event → Essence → Discrimination. Ask one question per layer, and wait for the user's response before moving to the next.
  3. No judgment: The user's answers do not need to be "correct" — they only need to be honest. Do not correct the user's philosophical understanding; only advance the process.
  4. Close out: After all four layers, give the user an integrative reflection — pointing out which layer they seemed most stuck on, or where a new space opened up after something was peeled away.

Four Inquiries Question Templates

For any specific object the user presents (e.g., "anxiety about the Kyoto application", "fear of bankruptcy", "I got angry at someone"), ask in this order:

1. Name Inquiry (名寻思)

The word you used (e.g., "failure" / "anxiety" / "rejection") — does it point to a single fact, or are multiple things mixed together? If you unpack it, what distinct components are actually inside?
