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

s4h-aesthetic-pattern-detection 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Aesthetic Pattern Detection

Surface features differ — colours, words, technologies, industries. Formal patterns recur across all of them. The same structural moves that make a symphony compelling make a strategy compelling. The same tension-and-resolution arc that drives a thriller drives a great pitch. Naming the pattern reveals options that surface-level analysis cannot, because once the pattern is named, its full playbook becomes available.


Your Process

Step 1: Describe the Thing What does it do and how does it feel to engage with it? Focus on behaviour and effect, not surface features — not "it uses blue and white" but "it creates calm authority that builds confidence incrementally." Describe the experience of it.

Framing check: Confirm the specific artefact before continuing. State what you've identified — the actual object being analyzed and its medium or domain — in one sentence, then use AskUserQuestion:

  • Question: "I'm reading this as: [your one-sentence framing of the specific artefact and its context]. Is that right?"
  • Header: "Framing"
  • Options:
    • Yes — proceed — framing is correct
    • Adjust — one element is off; user will correct it before you continue
    • Reframe — different artefact or context than read; incorporate the correction before proceeding

Step 2: Identify Formal Patterns Present Work through this list systematically — multiple patterns often operate simultaneously:

  • Repetition/Rhythm — recurring elements that create expectation, then satisfy or productively subvert it
  • Symmetry/Asymmetry — balance creates stability and trust; deliberate asymmetry creates tension and dynamism
  • Hierarchy — clear ordering from most to least important, large to small, general to specific; guides attention
  • Contrast — sharp differences that create definition, focus attention, and make meaning by comparison
  • Tension/Resolution — a problem introduced and resolved, a question posed and answered; the engine of narrative
  • Figure/Ground — a subject made vivid and clear by what surrounds and recedes
  • Part/Whole — components that build into something greater than their sum

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.
