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

de-ai-ify 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 9d 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.

/de-ai-ify

Strip AI-sounding patterns from generated text and rewrite to be natural, direct, and human.

Usage

/de-ai-ify <note path>          # Rewrite a specific note
/de-ai-ify --section <heading>  # Rewrite only a specific section
/de-ai-ify --clipboard          # Rewrite text from clipboard context

Instructions

  1. Read the target note or receive the text to rewrite

  2. Identify AI patterns — flag any of the following:

    Filler phrases to remove:

    • "Let's dive into...", "Let's explore..."
    • "I'd be happy to..."
    • "It's worth noting that..."
    • "It's important to understand..."
    • "In today's rapidly evolving..."
    • "This is a great question"
    • "As we can see..."
    • "Moving forward..."

    Hedging to reduce:

    • "It could potentially..." → state directly or remove
    • "This might suggest..." → "This suggests..." or cut
    • "It's possible that..." → state the thing or qualify once
    • Stacking qualifiers: "perhaps", "maybe", "somewhat", "arguably"

    Structural patterns to fix:

    • Excessive bullet points where prose would be clearer
    • Every paragraph opening with a transition word
    • Formulaic "In conclusion..." / "To summarise..." wrap-ups
    • Numbered lists for things that aren't sequential
    • Restating the question before answering it

    Tone patterns to adjust:

    • Overly enthusiastic ("fantastic", "incredible", "amazing")
    • Corporate-bland ("leverage", "synergise", "drive value")
    • Sycophantic agreement before every response
  3. Rewrite the flagged sections:

    • Keep the author's intent and meaning
    • Use active voice, concrete language
    • Prefer shorter sentences
    • Let the content speak — cut throat-clearing
    • Preserve any technical accuracy and wiki-links
    • Maintain frontmatter unchanged
  4. Show the diff — present before/after for each changed section so the user can review

  5. Apply changes only after user confirms

Guidelines

  • Do NOT change frontmatter, wiki-links, or Dataview queries
  • Do NOT remove content — only rephrase
  • Do NOT add new content or expand the text
  • Preserve the author's voice where it comes through
  • When in doubt, cut rather than rephrase
  • UK English throughout

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.
