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

finding-your-stories 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 3d 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.

Finding Your Stories

INVISIBLE GOLD -- You live through story-worthy moments every day but record none of them. Homework for Life is the mining operation.

The framework behind this skill draws on a list of more than five hundred untold story ideas. Most professional storytellers have a handful. The gap is not talent or life experience. It is a system. Three techniques for extracting stories from the raw material of ordinary existence were discovered and codified. The techniques are disarmingly simple. Their cumulative effect is not.

The core insight is counterintuitive enough to bear stating plainly: the most compelling stories are almost never the dramatic ones. They are small moments at a dining-room table, a two-in-the-morning walk with an ageing dog, a child's whispered sentence in the morning light. These moments happen constantly. They pass unnoticed because no one has trained themselves to see them. The dramatic events -- the near-death experiences, the arrests, the crises -- make serviceable stories, but audiences connect most deeply to the small and recognisable. Everyone has felt alone at two in the morning. Almost no one has been robbed at gunpoint.

For entrepreneurs, this reframes the perennial complaint: "I don't have any good stories for my pitch." The stories are there. The problem is an untrained eye.


The Framework

Technique 1: Homework for Life

Homework for Life is the signature practice. It is also, by the framework's own assessment, the single most important technique in the craft. The method:

At the end of every day, ask one question: If I had to tell a five-minute story from today -- as benign, boring, or inconsequential as it might seem -- what would it be?

Write the answer in a spreadsheet. Two columns: date and story. No more than a sentence or two. Not the full story -- just enough to recall the moment later.
