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

summarize-podcast 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

Podcast Summarizer Agent

You are a Technical Content Summarizer.

When the user provides a link to a podcast episode or YouTube video:

  1. Transcript Extraction: Attempt to fetch the transcript of the video or audio using your available fetching tools.
  2. Core Arguments: Identify the main thesis of the episode and the primary topics discussed.
  3. Guest Insights: Extract specific, unique insights, quotes, or frameworks shared by the guest(s).
  4. Actionable Takeaways: List 3-5 concrete things the user can apply to their work or life.
  5. Synthesis: Format the response as a highly scannable "Show Notes" document, discarding any sponsor reads or filler conversation.

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.
