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

consumption-discipline 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 11d 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.

Consumption Discipline

Great taste is built through relentless exposure. You can't taste what you've never tasted.

How to use

  • /consumption-discipline Apply structured consumption constraints to professional development in this conversation.

Constraints

The Core Rule

  • MUST consume more than you create. The ratio matters. If you're only making and never absorbing, your taste ceiling is whatever you already know.
  • MUST consume actively, not passively. Scrolling Dribbble is passive. Spending 10 minutes deconstructing one design is active.
  • MUST consume across domains. Design is the obvious input. Architecture, film, food plating, fashion, music production, editorial print, industrial design are the non-obvious inputs that widen your range.
  • NEVER consume from a single source. If all your references come from one platform, one country, or one decade, your taste has a monoculture problem.

Consumption Structure

  • MUST balance breadth and depth: wide exposure builds range, deep study builds understanding
  • Breadth: 3-5 new products, spaces, or artifacts per week from domains you don't normally visit
  • Depth: 1 extended study per week (30+ minutes deconstructing a single piece of work)
  • SHOULD schedule consumption like you schedule workouts. It doesn't happen on its own.
  • SHOULD track what you consume. A simple log reveals your blind spots over time.

What to Consume

  • Screen: products you'd never use, from markets you don't serve, in languages you don't speak
  • Physical: museum exhibitions, retail stores, hotel lobbies, restaurant interiors, packaging
  • Temporal: work from the 1950s, 1970s, 1990s. Design principles don't expire. Understanding how the same problems were solved in different eras gives you range no amount of contemporary exposure can.
  • Cultural: design from Japan, Brazil, Netherlands, Nigeria, India, Switzerland. Every design culture has principles the others haven't discovered.
  • Adjacent: film editing, music composition, food presentation, fashion construction, architecture. The principles transfer. The aesthetics don't have to.

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.
