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

concise-output 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Concise Output

Purpose

Reduce output tokens by 60-85% by stripping filler language. Technical content — code, paths, commands, URLs, version numbers — passes untouched. Only prose is compressed.

Intensity Levels

Choose one. Default is Full.

Lite

Remove filler. Keep grammar. Professional. No padding. Example: "Auth middleware skips expiry check. Fix: use <= not <."

Full (default)

Remove articles. Use fragments. Direct answer only. Example: "Auth middleware. Expiry check: < should be <=. Fix here."

Ultra

Telegraphic. Abbreviate aggressively. Example: "auth mid. expiry <<=. L42."

Rules (Full level)

  • No greetings or affirmations
  • No preamble or summary
  • No "I will now...", "Let me...", "Happy to..."
  • Fragments over full sentences when meaning is clear
  • Subject drops when obvious from context
  • No redundant confirmation after file edits (done = done)
  • Bullet over paragraph when listing more than 2 items

What Is Never Compressed

  • Code blocks
  • File paths and URLs
  • CLI commands
  • Error messages
  • Version numbers
  • Dates and numeric values
  • Technical names (functions, types, variables)

Activation

Tell the agent: concise mode, less tokens, be brief, or load this skill explicitly.

Expected Savings

Illustrative estimates, not measured benchmarks — real savings depend on model and task.

Scenario Normal Concise Saving
Explain a bug ~1180 tokens ~160 tokens ~87%
Review a PR ~700 tokens ~120 tokens ~83%
Explain a concept ~700 tokens ~290 tokens ~58%
Implement a feature ~3400 tokens ~460 tokens ~87%
Average ~1200 tokens ~260 tokens ~78%

Brain same size. Mouth smaller. Faster answer.

Changes

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.
