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

heroism 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.

Heroism

Build courage and temporary resilience before walking into something hard.

What This Skill Does

In D&D, Heroism grants temporary hit points and immunity to fear — you do not become stronger, you become harder to stop. The real-world version is the preparation ritual: the pre-presentation pep talk, the pre-launch checklist that calms the team, the structured confidence-building exercise before a difficult conversation. Heroism does not change your abilities. It changes your relationship to the fear of using them. In this grimoire, Heroism is treated as a metaphorical spell with a shipping-now delivery profile. Canonical reference input: Heroism (spell).

When To Use

  • Someone is about to do something hard — a presentation, a difficult conversation, a high-stakes launch — and needs structured preparation.
  • The blocker is not skill but confidence, anxiety, or fear of a specific outcome.
  • You want a pre-game routine, mental rehearsal, or fear-inventory exercise.

Prerequisites

  • No extra runtime dependencies beyond Hermes Agent and the normal toolset for this session.

Procedure

  1. Restate the target, the success condition, and any no-touch boundaries before taking action.
  2. Identify the hard thing: what is the person about to face, and what specifically scares them about it?
  3. Separate controllables from uncontrollables. Name the worst realistic outcome and its actual consequences.
  4. Build the preparation ritual: talking points, contingency plans, or structured rehearsal for the specific scenario.
  5. Deliver the temporary hit points: a concise confidence frame that is honest, not just cheerful.
  6. Include a 'fear inventory' — name the fears explicitly so they lose their ambient power.
  7. Package the result as the deliverables below, with confidence, assumptions, and unresolved risk called out explicitly.

Deliverables

  • A preparation plan tailored to the specific hard thing.
  • A fear inventory: the specific worries named and reality-checked.
  • A confidence frame: an honest, non-cheerleading reason to proceed.
