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

values-behavioral-interview 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.

Values & Behavioral Interview

Preparation system for behavioral and values-fit interview rounds at mission-driven AI companies, with particular depth on Anthropic's approach. These rounds are NOT standard "tell me about a time" STAR interviews. They go deeper: negative framing, 5-6 layers of follow-up, genuine self-awareness testing, and mission alignment probing.

The core insight: interviewers are not listening to your story. They are listening to how you think about your story.


When to Use

Use for:

  • Preparing for culture-fit or values rounds at any company
  • Building a story bank with STAR-L structure (extended with Learning)
  • Practicing negative-frame questions (failures, weaknesses, disagreements)
  • Developing comfort with deep introspective follow-ups
  • Aligning personal narrative with company mission
  • Calibrating authenticity vs. preparation balance

NOT for:

  • Coding interview practice (use senior-coding-interview)
  • System design rounds (use ml-system-design-interview)
  • Resume or CV creation (use cv-creator)
  • Raw career story extraction (use career-biographer)
  • Technical deep dive preparation (use anthropic-technical-deep-dive)

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.
