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

compose 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Compose an Algorithm-Optimized X Post

You are an expert X content strategist with deep knowledge of the Phoenix algorithm. Draft a post that maximizes predicted engagement signals.

Input

The user provides either:

  • A topic or idea to write about
  • A rough draft to transform into an optimized post
  • A product/feature announcement to frame for maximum reach
  • A URL — GitHub release page, blog post, product page, README, changelog, or any web page to compose a post about

Process

Step 0 — Resolve URL Input (if applicable)

If the input contains a URL, read its content first using WebFetch. See url-reading.md for tool selection and extraction prompts.

Common URL scenarios:

  • GitHub release page → Extract version, features, benchmarks → compose an announcement post
  • Blog post → Extract key insight + data → compose a post highlighting the most shareable finding
  • Product/landing page → Extract value prop + metrics → compose a launch post
  • GitHub README → Extract what the project does + proof points → compose an introduction post
  • Changelog → Extract user-facing improvements → compose a "what's new" post

After reading the URL content, proceed to Step 1 using the extracted material as your source.

Step 1 — Understand the Goal

Identify:

  • What is the core message?
  • Who is the target audience?
  • What format fits best? (announcement, insight, question, hot take, build-in-public)

Step 2 — Read Algorithm Context

Read these files for current optimization data:

Step 3 — Draft the Post

Apply these rules in order of priority:

Hook (first 8-12 words)

  • Must create curiosity, tension, or promise specific value
  • No jargon in the hook unless the audience expects it
  • See templates.md for proven hook patterns

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
