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 B, and why

teaching-and-leading scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 6d 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.

Teaching and Leading

MIRROR NEURONS. Leadership is contagious -- and not in the metaphorical sense that motivational posters suggest. Mirror neurons, first identified in macaque monkeys and since confirmed in humans, fire both when an individual acts and when that individual observes the same action performed by another. The neurological implication for anyone who leads a team is uncomfortable in its directness: your mood, your posture, your energy state are being neurologically replicated in the people around you whether you intend it or not. A CEO who walks into a team meeting carrying the weight of a lost investor, a sick parent, and missed revenue numbers will produce a team that mirrors that weight. The meeting will underperform. The decisions will be cautious. The energy will be flat. Not because anyone was told to feel bad, but because their neurons had no choice.

This is not a call for relentless, performative positivity. It is a call for deliberate state management -- the recognition that a leader's internal condition is, functionally, an external broadcast. What follows are ten leadership behaviours that exploit this contagion for constructive ends, each grounded in a specific practice rather than an abstract aspiration.


The Framework

Behaviour 1: Model, Don't Lecture

A first-grade teacher's method for teaching subtraction: demonstrate the problem, demonstrate it again, then let the students try. She walked out of the room for twenty minutes. When she returned, twenty-two six-year-olds could subtract single digits -- because they had watched someone do it, not listened to someone explain it.

The entrepreneurial translation: when teaching a new process, a sales methodology, or a company value, perform the task yourself while others watch. Narrate each step. Then perform it again. Only then hand it over. The instinct to explain is strong; the results of showing are stronger.

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.
