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

Announcement Drafter 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.

Announcement Drafter

The Announcement Drafter skill helps you create clear, well-structured announcements for any organizational change, update, or news. Whether you're announcing a new hire, policy change, product launch, organizational restructuring, or company milestone, this skill ensures your message is clear, appropriately toned, and drives the right response.

This skill understands that announcements are high-stakes communication. They set tone, manage expectations, and can significantly impact morale, adoption, or perception. The skill helps you balance transparency with tact, excitement with realism, and information with brevity.

Great announcements inform, engage, and motivate. They answer key questions before they're asked, acknowledge impact, and provide clear next steps. This skill makes creating them efficient while maintaining the quality and care they deserve.

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.
