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

not-happy-jan 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.

What it actually says

Not-Happy-Jan settings

Use the nhj CLI to inspect and change Not-Happy-Jan settings. Changes take effect on the next vibe; no Claude restart is needed.

Running the CLI

Use nhj if it's on PATH; otherwise use the project venv: <project>/.venv/bin/nhj <command>.

The dials

  • Janockerism (1 professional … 10 broad bogan … 11 swearing); competence
  • Bazzastress (1 apathetic … 10 anxious/fast); competence
  • Karrenkarren (1 curt … 10 full "NOT HAPPY JAN" meltdown)

Commands to run

User says… Run
"what are the current settings?" nhj status
"make Jan more bogan" / "set Jan's ockerism to 8" nhj set jan.ockerism 8
"make Jan less competent / muddled" nhj set jan.competence 3
"let Jan swear" / "full bogan" nhj set jan.ockerism 11 or nhj swearing on
"stop bleeping / raw swears" / "change the bleep" nhj censor off or nhj censor beep / quack / honk
"crank Karren to 11" nhj set karren.karren 10
"make Bazza less anxious" nhj set bazza.stress 2
"turn the hold music on / off" nhj muzak on / nhj muzak off
"mute the notifications" nhj mute
"unmute" nhj unmute
"test an error vibe" nhj test err -m "test message"

Notes

  • Prefer nhj status before and after changes when the user asks what is currently set or wants confirmation.
  • Runtime overrides live in NHJ's platform state location (NHJ_STATE_FILE or the platform state dir; NHJ_STATE_DIR can override the directory).
  • Config lives in the checkout .env during source use, or the platform config location for installed/wheel use (NHJ_CONFIG_DIR can override it).
  • mute silences all channels until nhj unmute.
  • Swearing is censored by default; only run nhj censor off if the user explicitly asks for raw swears.

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.
