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

generate-taxonomy 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.

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.

What it actually says

Generate Taxonomy Skill

Develop a hierarchical classification system or taxonomy for a knowledge base or content repository. This skill creates parent-child categorical structures to organize content effectively.

Inputs

  • PATH - The content source to analyze (e.g., "/knowledge-base")
  • FACETED - (Optional) Boolean, whether to create a faceted classification (multiple dimensions) (default: false)
  • BUSINESS_ALIGNMENT - (Optional) Boolean, whether to align with specific business goals/terminology (default: true)
  • USER_TESTING - (Optional) Boolean, whether to include user validation methodologies in the output (default: false)

Workflow

Step 1: Content Analysis & Term Extraction

Analyze the content at PATH to identify key topics, subjects, and categories.

  • Cluster documents by similarity.
  • Extract common tags and keywords.

Step 2: Structure Design

Organize the extracted concepts into a hierarchy.

  • Hierarchical: Define Broader Terms (Parent) and Narrower Terms (Child).
  • Faceted (if enabled): Define dimensions (e.g., Topic, Format, Audience, Region).

Step 3: Business & User Alignment

  • Align terms with business vocabulary (if BUSINESS_ALIGNMENT is true).
  • If USER_TESTING is true, generate a plan for card sorting or tree testing to validate the structure.

Step 4: Taxonomy Definition

Output the defined taxonomy.

Required Outputs

A TAXONOMY_DEFINITION document (e.g., in markdown or YAML format) containing:

  • Taxonomy Tree: Visual or indented list of categories.
  • Facets (if requested): Definitions of classification dimensions.
  • Rules: Guidelines for applying the taxonomy.
  • Testing Plan (if requested): Methodologies for validation.

Quick Reference

  • Purpose: Systematically classify content for retrieval optimization.
  • Types: Hierarchical (Tree) vs. Faceted (Matrix).

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.
