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

buy-me-a-car 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/check_freshness.py, scripts/generate_dossier.py, scripts/html_to_pdf.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 406 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Buy Me a Car

Caveat: this skill is one author's playbook + 5-scenario stress test. Verify state fees / CPO terms / EV credits / dealer practices against current sources before quoting numbers to a dealer or making financial decisions. Not tax, legal, or financial advice. Caveat (cont): This is a 0.2.0 alpha release. Sub-skills handle narrow tasks; this orchestrator runs the full pipeline.

End-to-end pre-purchase workflow for new and used cars. Tuned for Subaru/Honda/Toyota/Mazda SUVs in the NJ tri-state area but the structure generalizes.

When To Use

Scope, in one line: this skill runs the purchase end to end for a new or used car. Multi-site inventory search, mass dealer outreach, Gmail reply monitoring on a cron, OTD negotiation with market-data anchors, CARFAX and service-record PDF analysis, and decision dossiers for test drives. That sentence used to live in the frontmatter description, which is loaded into every turn's system prompt whether or not the skill fires; it lives here instead because this file is loaded on invocation, when the list is actually useful. The description now carries trigger phrases only, and only as many as the 180-char cap holds: the 17 phrases are 246 chars before separators. Complete list: README.md § orchestrator.

  • Buyer wants to evaluate inventory across multiple dealers / sites
  • Buyer wants written OTD by email before stepping on a lot
  • Buyer needs a market-data-backed anchor for a counter-offer
  • Buyer wants a CARFAX, service-record, or dealer-proposal PDF analyzed
  • Buyer is comparing 2-4 final candidates and needs a decision dossier
  • Buyer is mid-cycle and needs replies drafted to dealer emails

When NOT To Use

  • Purchase is already closed (paperwork signed), direct user to a delivery checklist instead
  • Pure mechanical-repair, EV-charging, lease-return, or insurance questions
  • "Just tell me what car to buy" with no constraints, go back to Phase 1 and gather requirements first
  • Quick price-check that does NOT require dealer outreach, answer directly with references/deal_data_sources.md Firecrawl pipeline only

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.
