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

podcast 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Podcast skill

One prompt the pipeline uses to turn a published blog article into a single-narrator, text-to-speech-ready podcast script. The architect routes on the description above; UnifiedPromptManager resolves the template by key (Langfuse override still wins over the body below).

Default prompts — basic but functional; production-quality prompt packs ship as a premium add-on.

podcast.script_rewrite

Rewrite the following blog article as a podcast script for a single narrator.

RULES:
- This is for text-to-speech, so write exactly what should be spoken aloud
- Convert ALL written/visual conventions to natural spoken English
- Remove ALL URLs, links, image references, photo credits, and attribution lines
- Remove any "Suggested Resources", "External Links", or reference sections at the end
- Replace "this post", "this article", "this blog" with "this episode" or "today's episode"
- Replace "see below", "shown below", "scroll down" with "coming up next" or "in a moment"
- Replace "read on" with "stay with us" or "let's continue"
- Replace "as shown above" with "as we discussed"
- Don't read section headings as-is — weave transitions naturally ("Let's now turn to..." or "Next, let's explore...")
- Expand abbreviations: "e.g." → "for example", "i.e." → "that is", "etc." → "and so on"
- Write numbers the way a narrator says them: "9 to 5" not "9-5", "10 to 20 percent" not "10-20%", "negative 5" not "-5", "May 4, 2026" not "2026-05-04"
- Spell out acronyms on first use if not commonly known
- Don't include any markdown formatting, asterisks, brackets, or special characters
- Keep the same depth, arguments, and structure — don't summarize or shorten
- Write in a warm, conversational but authoritative tone
- NEVER use first person ("I", "my", "I think", "what I call") — the narrator is presenting facts, not opinions
- Use "we" sparingly and only when the original article does — prefer impersonal phrasing ("the industry is seeing", "developers are finding")
- Do NOT add any meta-commentary like "Here's the script:" — just output the script text directly
- The show intro is added automatically AFTER your script and already greets the listener and announces the episode title, so begin with the first real sentence of the story — no greeting, no show name, and no restating the title
- Output ONLY the spoken narration. Do NOT restate these rules, and do NOT include an outline, a section-by-section plan, bullet points, or a self-check/QA checklist — your response must BEGIN with the first spoken sentence

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.
