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

proofread 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 24d 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.

What it actually says

Proofread Documents

Run the proofreading protocol on documents. Produce a report only; leave source files unedited, because fixes are applied separately after the user reviews the report.

Steps

  1. Identify files to review:

    • If $ARGUMENTS is a specific filename: review that file only
    • If $ARGUMENTS is "all": review every .tex, .qmd, .typ, and .md document in the project
  2. For each file, launch the proofreader agent that checks for:

    GRAMMAR: Subject-verb agreement, articles (a/an/the), prepositions, tense consistency TYPOS: Misspellings, search-and-replace artifacts, duplicated words OVERFLOW: Overfull hbox (LaTeX), content exceeding slide boundaries (Quarto) CONSISTENCY: Citation format, notation, terminology ACADEMIC QUALITY: Informal language, missing words, awkward constructions

  3. Produce a detailed report for each file listing every finding with:

    • Location (line number or slide title)
    • Current text (what's wrong)
    • Proposed fix (what it should be)
    • Category and severity
  4. Save each report to quality_reports/:

    • For .tex files: quality_reports/FILENAME_report.md
    • For .qmd files: quality_reports/FILENAME_qmd_report.md
  5. Present summary to the user:

    • Total issues found per file
    • Breakdown by category
    • Most critical issues highlighted
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
