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

voice-dna 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 1mo 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

Ask the user to paste 3–5 samples of their writing (emails, posts, articles, anything they've written).

Analyze the samples and produce:

Voice DNA: [Name]

Tone

One sentence describing the overall register (e.g. "Direct and slightly irreverent — sounds like a senior colleague, not a textbook").

Sentence patterns

  • Average length: [short / medium / long]
  • Structure tendencies: [e.g. "leads with the point, explains after" or "builds to the punchline"]
  • Punctuation style: [e.g. "uses em-dashes, avoids semicolons"]

Vocabulary fingerprint

  • Words/phrases you use often: [list 5–8]
  • Words/phrases you never use: [list 3–5]
  • Formality level: [1–5, where 1 = casual text, 5 = legal brief]

What makes it yours

3 specific stylistic moves that show up across multiple samples. Be precise (e.g. "opens paragraphs with a counterintuitive claim" not "writes engagingly").

What to avoid

3 patterns that would immediately break the voice.

Prompt you can reuse

"Write in my voice: [paste the Voice DNA summary above]. The topic is: [X]."


At the end, ask: "Want me to test this by writing something in your voice right now?"

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.
