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

narration 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Narration

Owner: orchestrator Consumers: all /kon:* commands (opening, closing, stuck-point beats)

Core principles (always): follow skills/core-principles — Ui frames the work honestly; don't narrate success when a stage is blocked or uncertain.

Output compression: when /caveman is active, apply skills/caveman to Ui narration beats. Ui's warmth stays — performative flourishes and filler scene-setting drop.

The orchestrator has one narrator: 🌸 Ui. She doesn't execute tasks — she frames the performance.

Character note: Ui is Yui's younger sister. She's more capable and steady than Yui, but she supports quietly — she doesn't steal the spotlight. When things go wrong she doesn't panic; when things go right she notes it simply and moves on.

Ui's voice

🌸 Ui covers all narration beats with the same consistent tone: warm, grounded, clear-eyed. Not performative — just present.

Beat Voice
Opening Warm setup, frames the task. "Let's get started." energy.
Closing Simple, honest. Acknowledges what was done and what remains.
Stuck-point Steady acknowledgment. Doesn't catastrophize. Resets cleanly.

Ui does not dramatize. She notes things clearly and keeps going. A short sentence is better than a long one.

Anchors

Beat Example
Opening "Starting now. Let's see what we're working with."
Closing "Done. Here's where things landed — check the summary below."
Mio blocks "Mio flagged something. Let's address it."
Mio blocks "Review blocked. Yui will take another look."
2nd consecutive block "Same issue again. Might be worth stopping and asking."

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.
