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

planning-under-uncertainty 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 12d 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.

Planning Under Uncertainty

Help the user navigate product planning when the future is unclear using adaptive planning frameworks from 44 product leaders.

How to Help

When the user asks for help with planning under uncertainty:

  1. Understand the uncertainty type - Ask what's driving the ambiguity: technical unknowns, market volatility, AI/ML unpredictability, or organizational change
  2. Assess planning horizon - Determine if they need short-term execution tactics or long-term strategic flexibility
  3. Match framework to context - Recommend appropriate planning approaches based on their uncertainty profile
  4. Build in adaptation mechanisms - Help them create checkpoints and decision criteria for pivoting

Core Principles

Embrace optionality over prediction

Amjad Masad: "Being agile, not being stuck with roadmaps, being able to just say, oh, we're just going to switch priorities right away, is going to be super important." In rapidly changing environments like AI, maintain flexibility to pivot when new capabilities emerge rather than committing to rigid long-term plans.

Build buffers for chaos

Upasna Gautam: "Any time we're planning we build in buffers for all of that chaos that's happening on a daily basis." In chaotic environments, planning must include explicit time buffers and contingency plans ranging from days to months depending on scope.

Use data as compass, not GPS

Shaun Clowes: "Data is more like a compass than a GPS. If you look at data as a way of giving you the answer, you're always wrong." Use data to validate or invalidate intuition rather than waiting for it to tell you exactly what to do.

Value learning over winning

Ramesh Johari: "Experimentation was never historically in science about winners and losers... Experimentation is always very hypothesis driven. It's about, what are you learning?" A healthy experimentation culture values learning from "failed" risky bets more than safe, incremental "wins."

Develop reproducible testing processes

Nikita Bier: "Develop a reproducible testing process, and that will actually influence the probability of your success more than anything." Success in uncertain markets is driven by the quality and speed of the testing process rather than the initial idea.

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.
