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

onboard 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 1mo 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.

Create or improve onboarding experiences that help users understand, adopt, and succeed with the product quickly.

Assess Onboarding Needs

Understand what users need to learn and why:

  1. Identify the challenge:

    • What are users trying to accomplish?
    • What's confusing or unclear about current experience?
    • Where do users get stuck or drop off?
    • What's the "aha moment" we want users to reach?
  2. Understand the users:

    • What's their experience level? (Beginners, power users, mixed?)
    • What's their motivation? (Excited and exploring? Required by work?)
    • What's their time commitment? (5 minutes? 30 minutes?)
    • What alternatives do they know? (Coming from competitor? New to category?)
  3. Define success:

    • What's the minimum users need to learn to be successful?
    • What's the key action we want them to take? (First project? First invite?)
    • How do we know onboarding worked? (Completion rate? Time to value?)

CRITICAL: Onboarding should get users to value as quickly as possible, not teach everything possible.

Onboarding Principles

Follow these core principles:

Show, Don't Tell

  • Demonstrate with working examples, not just descriptions
  • Provide real functionality in onboarding, not separate tutorial mode
  • Use progressive disclosure - teach one thing at a time

Make It Optional (When Possible)

  • Let experienced users skip onboarding
  • Don't block access to product
  • Provide "Skip" or "I'll explore on my own" options

Time to Value

  • Get users to their "aha moment" ASAP
  • Front-load most important concepts
  • Teach 20% that delivers 80% of value
  • Save advanced features for contextual discovery

Context Over Ceremony

  • Teach features when users need them, not upfront
  • Empty states are onboarding opportunities
  • Tooltips and hints at point of use

Respect User Intelligence

  • Don't patronize or over-explain
  • Be concise and clear
  • Assume users can figure out standard patterns
