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

smart-goals 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.

SMART Goals

SMART is the most misused acronym in management. Written on thousands of whiteboards, invoked in millions of performance reviews, and executed properly in perhaps a fraction of those cases. George T. Doran introduced the framework in a 1981 issue of Management Review with the paper "There's a S.M.A.R.T. Way to Write Management's Goals and Objectives," offering five criteria that transform vague aspirations into actionable commitments. The concept is straightforward. The application is where organizations fail -- not because SMART is intellectually demanding, but because genuinely specific, measurable goals expose the gap between what people say they want to achieve and what they are actually willing to commit to. Vague goals provide cover. SMART goals provide accountability. Most people, when pressed, prefer the cover.


The Framework

Each letter in SMART represents one criterion that a well-formed goal must satisfy. The criteria are cumulative: a goal that is Specific and Measurable but not Achievable is a fantasy; one that is Achievable and Time-bound but not Relevant is busywork.

S -- Specific

The criterion: The goal must answer the journalist's questions: What will be accomplished? Who is responsible? Where will it happen? Which resources or constraints are involved?

The failure mode: "Improve customer satisfaction." This is not a goal; it is a wish. It specifies neither the dimension of satisfaction to improve, the customer segment, nor the mechanism for improvement.

The correction: "Increase NPS among enterprise customers (500+ employees) from 32 to 45 by redesigning the onboarding flow and adding dedicated customer success managers for accounts above $50K ARR."

The specificity is uncomfortable. It eliminates ambiguity, which also eliminates the ability to retrospectively redefine success. This is precisely the point.

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.
