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

statement-of-purpose 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.

Statement of Purpose

A skill for producing a strong Statement of Purpose (SOP) by applying what genre researchers have actually observed in successful statements — not a generic template.

What this skill is built on

The guidance here comes from genre-analysis research on real, successful SOPs: Samraj & Monk (2008, English for Specific Purposes), Chiu (2015 & 2016, Journal of English for Academic Purposes — doctoral statements and the academics who evaluate them), Ganguly (2020, Missouri S&T thesis — style findings published in Xchanges 2021, appeals findings in English for Specific Purposes 2022), and López-Ferrero & Bach (2016, Discourse Studies). The findings below are empirical observations about what admitted applicants did, which is why they are worth following. Use-case- and fluency-specific findings live in the reference files and are cited there.

The one thing to get right first

An SOP is a strategic narrative, not a biography and not a CV in prose. It bridges the applicant's past to their future through the lens of one specific program. Admissions committees use it to learn what transcripts, scores, and recommendation letters cannot tell them: who the person is, how they think, and why this program specifically. Everything below serves that.

Credibility (ethos) is the load-bearing wall. Across the research, ethos appears far more than emotional or purely logical appeal — and it has to be established early and prominently, because if the reader does not find the applicant credible first, no amount of passion or reasoning lands. Build credibility before you reach for feeling.

Workflow

Follow these steps in order. Do not skip the intake — a strong SOP is made of the applicant's specific material, and generic input produces a generic essay that helps no one.

1. Intake — gather the applicant's real material

Ask for whatever is missing. Be efficient; ask for the highest-value items together rather than one at a time.
