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

practice-routine 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 9d 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.

Practice Routine Suggestions

Catalog skill — when a user asks for a practice plan, match their goal to one of the templates below and reproduce verbatim with light personalisation (their stated key, tempo, or instrument).

How to dispatch

User states a goal (jazz comping, fingerstyle, soloing, ear training, scales, technique, repertoire). Match to the closest template; if none fit, ask one clarifying question before defaulting.

Templates

🎹 Jazz comping (rhythm guitar / piano)

Daily 30-min routine:

  1. Warm-up (5 min) — drop-2 voicings of one ii-V-I in any key, both hands.
  2. Voicing inventory (10 min) — pick a tune (e.g. Autumn Leaves); play 3 different voicings of each chord.
  3. Comping rhythms (10 min) — Charleston, bossa, four-on-the-floor; each over the same ii-V-I.
  4. Free comping (5 min) — over a backing track, no charts.

🎸 Soloing / improvisation

Daily 30-min routine:

  1. Scale warm-up (5 min) — one major scale + its modes in one position.
  2. Arpeggio drilling (10 min) — arpeggios of the chords in your target tune, ascending and descending.
  3. Target-tone practice (10 min) — over a backing track, land on chord tones at the bar line.
  4. Free solo (5 min) — record yourself; listen back.

👂 Ear training

Daily 15-min routine:

  1. Interval recognition (5 min) — major and minor 3rds, perfect 4ths and 5ths, octaves, then sevenths.
  2. Chord-quality recognition (5 min) — major / minor / diminished / augmented / dominant 7th / major 7th.
  3. Diatonic-degree recognition (5 min) — in a fixed key, which scale degree is the melody on?

Tools: any ear-training app (functional-ear-trainer, EarBeater, Tenuto). The chatbot can quiz you on intervals if you ask.

🎶 Fingerstyle technique

Daily 20-min routine:

  1. Right-hand independence (5 min) — alternate-bass over a held chord (e.g. C: bass C–G–C–E with melody on top).
  2. Travis picking (5 min) — alternating thumb (root then 5th of the chord) on bass strings, fingers playing syncopated melody on top three strings.
  3. Tune work (10 min) — one section of an arrangement (e.g. Tommy Emmanuel, Chet Atkins, Don Ross).

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.
