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

cooperative-negotiation 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.

Cooperative Negotiation

POSITIONS TO INTERESTS -- two people fighting over an orange. One wants the peel, the other wants the juice. Same position ("I need the orange"), different interests. The negotiation fails because nobody asks why. This parable, worn smooth by repetition in every negotiation textbook, persists because its lesson remains almost universally ignored. Most business negotiations collapse not from bad faith or insufficient leverage but from a far simpler failure: both sides argue about what they want without ever surfacing why they want it.

Fisher and Ury's principled negotiation framework (covered in the win-win-negotiation skill) provides the theoretical architecture -- separate people from problems, focus on interests, generate options, use objective criteria. That skill teaches the blueprint. This one teaches what to say when you sit down across the table.


The Framework

The Anatomy of a Deal

Every negotiation begins with an issue -- a problem or opportunity that requires agreement. Each party arrives with a position: a concrete statement of how the issue should be resolved. When positions collide, the instinct is to argue harder, concede reluctantly, or walk away. This is the positional death spiral. It escalates tension, damages relationships, and wastes resources.

The cooperative alternative requires a single, decisive move: transition from positions to interests.

Positions are concrete, divisible, and visible. They are the stated demands -- price, terms, equity split, delivery date.

Interests are intangible, often unarticulated, and frequently invisible even to the person holding them. They include:

  • Ego -- the need to look competent, respected, successful
  • Fear -- of loss, exposure, failure, humiliation
  • Relationships -- preserving a partnership, impressing a boss, honouring a commitment
  • Values -- fairness, loyalty, autonomy, recognition
  • Circumstances -- budget cycles, reporting deadlines, personal pressures

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.
