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

revising-and-editing 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.

Revising and Editing

Watch a mediocre memo become an excellent one. The first draft reads: "In order to facilitate the customers' placement of orders, a new order-processing procedure has been designed. The process will require a customer to enter the product and/or service code into our order-entry system, which will then generate a quote for the job and return it to the customer for approval." By the third draft, it reads: "Our current work-order processing takes a lot of paperwork and phone calls, so it's hard for our customers to make changes to the work before it begins. The procedure is inefficient and subject to error. And it takes up to four weeks from quote to approval to work order. We have therefore designed a new four-step procedure that has two key benefits: (1) Customers can place orders through our website, and (2) we can start jobs faster."

The difference is not cosmetic. The first draft tells the reader what is happening. The third draft tells them why it matters. Between those two versions lies the entire discipline of revision and editing -- two related but fundamentally different operations that most writers conflate, to their detriment.


The Framework

Revising vs. Editing: The Critical Distinction

Revising is rethinking the floor plan. Editing is choosing the paint colours. Confuse the two, and a writer will spend an hour perfecting the grammar of a paragraph that should have been deleted entirely.

Revising addresses the macro level: the argument, the structure, the completeness, the truthfulness, the diplomacy. It asks whether the right things have been said.

Editing addresses the micro level: the sentences, the word choices, the phrasing, the rhythm. It asks whether the right things have been said well.

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.
