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

cisely-sub-strategy 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 8d 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.

Authoring sub-strategies in Cisely

Where Cisely's core strategy has a fixed shape the platform defines for you (winning aspiration, where to play, how to win), sub-strategies are the flexible surface: you define your own strategy kinds and shape them however your organization needs.

It works in two moves:

  1. Definition = the taxonomy. You declare, once and company-wide, what a given kind of strategy (say a Technology Strategy) should contain — its fields, as a JSON Schema. This sets the standard.
  2. Record = the instance. Different parts of the business then author records of that kind, each carrying actual values validated against the definition's schema. So you set the bar once, and each business unit fills it in.

A record refines a core strategy (or another record), connecting a specialized plan to the overall direction so the whole tree is traversable.

When to reach for this

The user wants a kind of strategy Cisely doesn't model natively — a technology strategy, a GTM strategy, an internal people-&-culture strategy, an ESG strategy — and ideally wants it consistent across the company. If they just want a single strategic posture, that's the core strategy (use the cisely-agency-model skill instead).

The flow

A. Define the kind (the schema)

  1. CreateSubStrategyDefinition(key, display_name, description, validation_schema) — creates a DRAFT definition. key is the stable identifier records will bind to (e.g. technology-strategy). validation_schema is a JSON Schema (2020-12) document describing the fields every record of this kind must have.
  2. Iterate while DRAFT: UpdateSubStrategyDefinitionSchema(id, validation_schema) (allowed only while DRAFT).
  3. PublishSubStrategyDefinition(id) — DRAFT → PUBLISHED. This freezes the schema and bumps its version. Records can now be authored against a stable contract. (You can't edit a published schema — publish a new version-bumped definition if the standard needs to change.)
  4. ArchiveSubStrategyDefinition(id) — retire a kind; existing records remain, new ones are blocked.
  5. Read: GetSubStrategyDefinitionByKey(key), ListSubStrategyDefinitions.
