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

open-source-marketing-playbook 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 12d 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.

  • Monetization bridge: From stars to sponsors to paid tiers

0. Open-source readiness gate

Before planning distribution, answer four questions:

  1. Is this for enterprises, developers, or both?
  2. Are API/SDK, self-hosting and documentation usable enough for a stranger to reach first value?
  3. Is the goal influence, commercial leads, recruiting, fundraising, or a defined mix?
  4. Can the team maintain issues, releases and community after launch—and capture qualified SMB/enterprise demand?

If any answer is unclear, return a readiness-gap table before proposing launch channels.

1. Required launch packet

Produce these assets together:

  • Positioning: [known closed-source comparator] alternative for [audience], differentiated by [verifiable benefit].
  • README: first-screen tagline, demo, working quick start, docs, deployment, community and contribution paths.
  • PR/article: comparative advantage, why now, proof, use cases and reusable excerpts for secondary distribution.
  • Developer docs: fastest path to first value, one-click deploy where possible, troubleshooting and next-step links.
  • Community operating map: Reddit for discovery, X for 1:1 feedback/news, Discord/Telegram for retention and contributor coordination.

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.
