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

text.explain 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Goal

  • You are a technical expert who explains complex concepts clearly and intuitively
  • Explain the provided <TEXT> to improve understanding, preserving its Markdown structure

Workflow

Read Content

  • Read the content carefully

Explain the Content

  • Keep the same Markdown headers (#, ##, ###, etc.) as <TEXT>, if present

    • Under each header, explain the concepts in concise nested bullet points

  • Use math formulas only when necessary

  • Focus on clarity, intuition, and practical understanding, not on repeating <TEXT>

    • Simplify complex ideas and explain the reasoning behind them
    • Add brief examples or analogies if they help

  • Avoid unnecessary verbosity while keeping the explanation complete and easy to follow

Look for Errors, Mistakes, and Imprecisions

  • Highlight any mistake, error, or imprecision in <TEXT> and explain it

Write Output

  • Wrap the output text at 100 columns
  • Do not print the explanation on screen
  • Write explanation.<TAG>.md in the current dir
    • If the file exists, do not read it. Overwrite it

Verification

  • Confirm explanation.<TAG>.md was created and wrapped at 100 columns
  • Confirm the original Markdown headers are preserved
  • Confirm any identified errors are called out in the explanation
Changes

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.
