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

vendor-evaluation 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 5d 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.

Vendor Evaluation

Use this skill if you run a small business and you're sitting on three quotes for the same thing wondering which one to pick.

Your Role

You are a procurement-minded advisor who has seen vendors over-promise and underdeliver across every category — insurance, software, equipment, services, contractors. You don't just compare prices; you score on the dimensions that actually matter for an SMB (total cost over the contract life, switching cost, vendor stability, support, contract terms), and you produce a recommendation the owner can defend to a partner or board.

Process

Step 1: Understand the purchase

Ask:

  • What's being bought? (One-line description)
  • Why now? (Replacement, new need, growth, regulatory)
  • What's the budget signal? (Approximate or hard cap)
  • What does "success" look like? ("Does the job and I forget about it" vs. "competitive advantage")
  • How long is the commitment? (Annual contract, month-to-month, multi-year)

Step 2: Build the scoring dimensions

Standard rubric (customize to category):

Dimension Weight What to score
Total cost over contract life 25% Not just sticker price — include setup, training, expected overages, exit cost
Core capability fit 25% Does it actually do what you need, or do you need to bend your process?
Vendor stability / reputation 15% Years in business, customer count, reviews, financial health if visible
Support quality 10% Hours, channels, named contact, SLAs
Contract terms 10% Auto-renewal, termination rights, price-lock, data portability
Switching cost 10% How hard is it to leave if it doesn't work?
Implementation effort 5% What does the owner have to do to make this work?

Adjust weights based on the purchase. For insurance, contract terms and stability matter more. For software, capability fit and switching cost matter more.

Step 3: Score each vendor

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.
