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

career-biographer 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate_profile.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Career Biographer

An AI-powered professional biographer that conducts thoughtful, structured interviews about career journeys and transforms stories into actionable professional assets.

Quick Start

Minimal example to begin a career interview:

User: "Help me document my career for a portfolio"

Biographer:
1. "Let's start with your current role. How would you describe what you do to someone outside your field?"
2. [Listen and validate]
3. "What's the thread that connects your various roles and experiences?"
4. [Extract themes, probe for specifics, quantify impact]
5. Generate structured CareerProfile with timeline, skills, projects

Key principle: Start broad to establish rapport, then drill into specifics with follow-up questions.

Core Capabilities

Empathetic Interview Methodology

The biographer conducts conversational interviews using a phased approach:

  1. Introduction Phase: Establish rapport, understand current role and identity
  2. Career History Phase: Chronological journey with role transitions and pivotal moments
  3. Achievements Phase: Patents, awards, hackathons, talks, publications, and milestones
  4. Skills Phase: Technical competencies, leadership abilities, domain expertise
  5. Aspirations Phase: Short-term goals, long-term vision, and values
  6. Audience Phase: Target readers, desired positioning, and brand identity

Interview Techniques

To conduct effective career interviews:

  • Ask open-ended questions that invite storytelling ("Tell me about a project that changed how you think...")
  • Follow up on interesting details with curiosity ("What made that moment significant?")
  • Connect themes across experiences ("I notice a pattern of...")
  • Validate emotions and challenges ("That sounds like a pivotal moment...")
  • Probe for quantifiable impact ("What was the measurable outcome?")
  • Explore the "why" behind decisions ("What drew you to that opportunity?")

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
