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

procrastination-buster 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (runner.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Procrastination Buster

Start today, finish stronger—powered by small momentum and honest tracking.

What it does

Procrastination-Buster breaks the cycle of avoidance by combining behavioral science with practical friction reduction:

  • Task Breakdown - Splits overwhelming projects into atomic, startable units (not "write report" but "outline 5 sections")
  • 2-Minute Starts - Removes the startup barrier by anchoring commitment to a single, trivial first step
  • Friction Reduction - Identifies and removes mental blockers (unclear goals, environment chaos, skill gaps)
  • Accountability Tracking - Records what you commit to, what you start, and what you finish—building a win history

Usage

Break Down Task

Ask clawd: "Break down [task name] into 5 startable steps"

  • Returns concrete first action with time estimate
  • Eliminates ambiguity that feeds avoidance

2-Minute Start

Ask clawd: "Give me a 2-minute start for [task]"

  • Identifies the single smallest action (open file, write one sentence, gather materials)
  • Momentum compounds once friction drops

Log Blockers

Ask clawd: "What's stopping me from starting [task]?"

  • Tracks emotional, practical, or skill-based barriers
  • Suggests removal strategies per blocker type

Accountability Partner

Ask clawd: "Track my progress on [task]—check in tomorrow"

  • Simple commit → simple check-in
  • Persistent memory remembers your pattern, builds trust

Celebrate Wins

Ask clawd: "What did I finish this week?"

  • Surfaces completed work (easy to forget)
  • Feeds motivation for next task

Techniques

The 2-Minute Rule Start, don't finish. Commit to 2 minutes of the task. Momentum usually carries past the barrier. If it doesn't, you've still moved forward.

Pomodoro Starts Chain three 25-minute sprints with 5-minute breaks. After the first sprint, procrastination usually evaporates—the task becomes real.

Environment Design Remove friction from your space: close unneeded tabs, silence notifications, place materials within arm's reach. Friction is silent procrastination.

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.
