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

user-interview-synthesis 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 7d 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.

User Interview Synthesis Skill

Transform raw interview transcripts into a structured synthesis document that surfaces themes, pain points, and actionable insights.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • Interview transcripts or notes (even rough notes work)
  • Number of participants and their profiles (role, company size, context)
  • Research questions (what was the study trying to answer?)
  • Date range of research (for context)

Process

  1. Read all provided transcripts fully before drawing conclusions
  2. Identify recurring themes (minimum 3 mentions to qualify as a theme)
  3. Categorize findings into: Pain Points, Workflow Insights, Feature Requests, Delight Moments
  4. Select 2-3 verbatim quotes per theme that best represent the pattern
  5. Draft "So What" implications for each theme — what does this mean for the product?
  6. Validate — Confirm every theme has quotes from at least 3 participants. Flag any insight resting on fewer as low-confidence.

Output Structure

Research Synthesis: [Study Name]

Participants: [n] Date Range: [dates] Research Questions: [list]

Theme 1: [Theme Name]
  • Summary (2-3 sentences)
  • Supporting quotes (from at least 3 participants)
  • Implication for product

[Repeat for each theme]

Low-Confidence Signals (1-2 participants only)

[Findings worth tracking but not acting on yet — note what further research would confirm or deny]

Recommended Next Steps

[Specific, actionable recommendations based on findings]

Quality Checks

  • Every theme is supported by quotes from at least 3 participants
  • Implications connect to specific product decisions, not just observations
  • Researcher bias check: no leading language, findings don't all support one hypothesis
  • Single-source signals are flagged separately, not mixed into main themes
  • Research questions from the study brief are each addressed (even if the answer is "inconclusive")

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.
