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

sg-optimize 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 1mo 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.

Slide Generator: Optimize Step

Run quality analysis and automated improvement on drafted slide content. Uses Claude with extended thinking (budget_tokens=4096, temperature=1.0) to score and improve content across 5 dimensions: readability, tone consistency, structure, redundancy, and citation quality.

Pre-loaded Context

Working directory: !pwd

Available presentation files: !ls -la *.md 2>/dev/null | grep -i pres || echo "No presentation files found"

Prerequisites

  • Preflight: sg --version must succeed before proceeding — if sg is missing, stop and tell the user this requires the private davistroy/slide-generator engine (owner-only; see ADR-0008)
  • slide-generator package installed
  • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY set in environment
  • A presentation.md file from the draft step

Input Validation

Required:

  • <presentation.md> - Path to presentation markdown file

Optional:

  • --output <path> - Explicit output file path. If omitted, the sg engine chooses the output location itself — this is not documented in this repository (the engine lives in the private davistroy/slide-generator repo, ADR-0008/D23); run sg optimize --help to confirm current behavior before relying on it.

Instructions

  1. Verify input: Confirm the presentation markdown exists and contains slide content
  2. Run optimization:
    sg optimize presentation.md
    
  3. Verify output: Confirm optimized file was created
  4. Report results: Show quality scores (before/after if available), improvements made

How It Works

The optimize step uses:

  • Extended thinking: budget_tokens=4096 for deep analysis (temperature=1.0 required)
  • 5-dimension scoring: Readability, tone, structure, redundancy, citations
  • Representative sampling: For decks >15 slides, samples representative slides rather than processing all
  • Batched optimization: Large decks optimized in batches with quality verification
  • Assistant prefill: Forces structured JSON output for consistent scoring

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.
