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

Motivation Generator 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 4d 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.

Motivation Generator

Purpose

Generate motivational content specifically tailored for developers to:

  • Overcome coding challenges
  • Maintain focus and productivity
  • Build confidence in their abilities
  • Find inspiration during difficult tasks
  • Celebrate progress and achievements

When to Use

Invoke this skill when:

  • User explicitly asks for motivation (/motivate command)
  • User appears frustrated or stuck
  • After completing a difficult task (celebration)
  • During long coding sessions
  • When learning something new and challenging

Instructions

Step 1: Identify the Context

Determine the user's situation:

  1. Current Mood: Frustrated, Stuck, Tired, Overwhelmed, Curious, Celebrating
  2. Task Difficulty: Debugging, Learning new tech, Refactoring, Building from scratch
  3. Progress Level: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
  4. Time in Session: Starting, Mid-session, Long session (>2 hours)

Step 2: Choose Motivation Type

Select the appropriate motivation approach:

Problem-Solving Motivation (when stuck):

  • Remind them that debugging is normal
  • Share strategies for approaching problems
  • Encourage breaking down the problem

Learning Motivation (when learning):

  • Emphasize growth mindset
  • Remind that every expert was once a beginner
  • Celebrate small wins in understanding

Persistence Motivation (when tired):

  • Acknowledge the effort
  • Suggest taking breaks
  • Remind of past successes

Achievement Motivation (when succeeding):

  • Celebrate the win
  • Reinforce good practices
  • Encourage sharing knowledge

Step 3: Craft the Message

Create a message with these elements:

  1. Acknowledgment: Recognize their situation
  2. Inspiration: Quote, principle, or wisdom
  3. Actionable Advice: Concrete next step
  4. Encouragement: Positive affirmation

Step 4: Add Depth

Include one of:

  • Relevant developer quote
  • Productivity technique (Pomodoro, timeboxing)
  • Mindset reframe
  • Success story or example
  • Technical tip related to their struggle

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.
