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

Decision Helper 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 4d 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.

Decision Helper

The Decision Helper skill guides you through structured decision-making processes using proven frameworks, mental models, and de-biasing techniques. Rather than relying on gut feel alone or getting paralyzed by analysis, this skill helps you think clearly about choices that matter.

This skill applies decision science, behavioral economics, and strategic thinking frameworks to help you evaluate options systematically, identify hidden biases, consider long-term consequences, and make choices you'll be confident about. It recognizes different decision types—reversible vs. irreversible, urgent vs. important, personal vs. professional—and provides appropriate frameworks for each.

The tool doesn't make decisions for you—it clarifies your thinking, surfaces assumptions, and ensures you've considered what matters most before committing to a path.

Core Workflows

Workflow 1: Decision Framing

Clarify what you're actually deciding:

  1. Question Definition: What exactly are you choosing between?
  2. Stakes Assessment: How important is this? How reversible?
  3. Timeline: When must you decide? Can you wait for more information?
  4. Stakeholders: Who else is affected? Who should have input?
  5. Context: What constraints or requirements apply?
  6. True Question: Often the initial framing isn't the real decision

Workflow 2: Options Generation

Expand your choice set:

  1. List Obvious Options: The choices you're already considering
  2. Explore Alternatives: Are there other possibilities?
  3. Challenge Constraints: What if X weren't a factor?
  4. Hybrid Options: Can you combine approaches?
  5. Do Nothing: Is staying put an option?
  6. Third Alternative: Beyond binary choices

Workflow 3: Criteria Definition

Identify what matters:

  1. Values Alignment: What principles matter here?
  2. Success Definition: What does a good outcome look like?
  3. Trade-offs: What are you willing to sacrifice for what?
  4. Weighted Importance: Not all criteria are equal
  5. Deal-breakers: Non-negotiable requirements

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.
