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

strategic-scout 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.

Strategic Scout Skill

Version: 1.0 Purpose: To provide a structured, repeatable process for navigating strategic uncertainty, exploring multiple possible futures, and aligning on a clear, actionable direction.


I. The Philosophy: From Problem to Possibility

Strategic thinking is not about finding the right answer to a problem; it is about exploring the landscape of possibility that a tension reveals.

Three principles guide this skill:

  1. Begin with a tension, not a solution. The quality of your strategic thinking is determined by the quality of your questions. A tension held open reveals more than a problem quickly solved.

  2. Scouting is an act of humility. The first idea is rarely the best idea. By generating multiple routes, you resist premature commitment and let the landscape teach you what's possible.

  3. Synthesis is a creative act. The best solutions often come from combining existing ideas in new ways. Routes are raw material for synthesis, not a menu to pick from.

  4. Alignment is an ongoing process. Don't assume you understand the user's vision. Continuously check for alignment. The goal is a shared understanding, not a delivered answer.


II. When to Use This Skill

  • At the beginning of a new project or major release
  • When facing a significant strategic decision with no clear answer
  • When a project feels stuck or lacks a clear direction
  • When there are multiple competing priorities or stakeholder interests
  • When a binary decision feels limiting (pair with product-positioning)
  • When moving from "what should we build?" to exploring options before committing

When NOT to use:

  • When the decision is purely tactical and well-understood
  • When the user has already committed to a direction and needs execution help
  • When the question can be answered with a quick lookup or factual analysis

III. The Workflow

This is a 4-step workflow for strategic scouting and decision-making.

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.
