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

tech-strategy-brief 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 6d 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.

Tech Strategy Brief

When to use

BLUF decision brief for technology strategy calls — options including do-nothing, recommendation first, explicit ask.

What this skill does not do

  • Does not make architecture decisions — draft for ARB/sign-off.
  • Does not invent vendor pricing — tag [verify] or INPUT NEEDED.
  • Does not skip do-nothing option — always one of the real choices.

Preconditions

Input If missing
Precise decision statement Ask to narrow
Transformation practice profile Proceed [PROVISIONAL] on platform vocabulary

Provisional mode

Without EA principles from profile: flag recommendations [review] against house rules once configured.

Trust spine

Option-evaluation bands; recommendation before detail; conditions that would flip recommendation stated; GATE before board/exec final.

Workflow

  1. Read practice profile for platform vocabulary and risk posture.
  2. State decision precisely.
  3. Lay out options including do-nothing.
  4. Per option: requirements, cost (time/disruption/lock-in), main risk.
  5. State recommendation first (BLUF).
  6. 2–4 MECE reasoning points.
  7. Explicit ask — sign-off, budget, date.
  8. Flag what would change the recommendation.

Output format

CONFIDENCE: [defensible recommendation | structured first pass]
RECOMMENDATION: [one to two sentences — stated first]

REASONING:
1. [...]
2. [...]

OPTIONS:
| Option | Requires | Cost | Main risk |
|---|---|---|---|

ASK: [decision needed, by when, from whom]
WOULD FLIP RECOMMENDATION IF: [...]

Worked example

Input: Shared Identity platform vs per-product IdP.

Expected output (excerpt):

RECOMMENDATION: Adopt shared Identity platform — reduces duplicate security review [review]
WOULD FLIP RECOMMENDATION IF: Regulatory separation requires per-BU identity boundary [review]

Quality checks before delivering

  • Decision precise, not vague architecture improvement
  • Do-nothing option included
  • Recommendation before options detail
  • Flip conditions stated
  • Figures source-tagged

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.
