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

set-kpi 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.

Set KPI — Contractor Hiring Doc Generator

Create complete, visual hiring docs for any contractor role. The output is a ready-to-use KPI doc with ASCII charts, comp scenarios, screening questions, and messaging templates.

Why this skill exists

Setting KPIs for contractors is high-leverage but tedious. Bad KPIs lead to misaligned incentives, wasted time, and contractors who game metrics instead of driving results. This skill ensures every role gets KPIs that are reverse-engineered from real business targets — not arbitrary numbers pulled from thin air.

The Process

Follow these 6 steps in order. Use AskUserQuestion at each step to gather input.

Step 1: Understand the Role

Ask:

  • What role are you hiring for? (title, responsibilities)
  • Is this a new role or updating an existing one?
  • What problem does this person solve for you? What are you currently doing that you want off your plate?

Check if docs/hiring/about-bookzero.md exists — if so, the shared company page is already built and new role docs should reference it.

Step 2: Business Context & Targets

Ask:

  • What's the business target this role supports? (e.g., 1,000 users by October)
  • What's the current baseline? (e.g., 43 users now)
  • What % of the target does this role contribute to?
  • What's the timeline?

Build a month-by-month growth table from current state to target. Identify key inflection points (tax season, product launches, seasonal demand).

Step 3: Compensation Structure

Ask:

  • Fixed salary, commission-based, or hybrid?
  • What's the budget range?
  • Any performance bonuses or milestone payouts?

Then generate 3 comp scenarios (slow month, average month, strong month) as ASCII box diagrams:

  SCENARIO 1: Slow Month
  ───────────────────────────────────────
  Base                          $XXX
  X deliverables     × $XX   = $XXX
                                ─────
  TOTAL                        $XXX/mo

Step 4: Define KPIs

Reverse-engineer KPIs from the business target:

  • Start with the end goal (e.g., 1,000 users)
  • Work backward: what monthly numbers are needed to hit that?
  • Break into leading indicators (activities) and lagging indicators (results)
  • Set Month 1 (ramp), Month 2-3 (growth), Month 4+ (mature) targets

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.
