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-narrative-frame-analysis 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.

Narrative Frame Analysis

Frames are invisible until named. The same facts support radically different conclusions depending on who is the protagonist, what counts as the problem, and what counts as success. Most communication failures are framing failures — not evidence failures. Reframing does not change the facts; it changes which facts are salient and which conclusions they support.


Your Process

Step 1: Name the Current Frame Make the implicit explicit. Who is the protagonist in the current frame? What is the problem being solved? What counts as a successful outcome? What is the frame's implicit villain or antagonist?

Framing check: Confirm the specific situation and its dominant frame before continuing. State what you've identified — the actual narrative or discourse being analysed, who the current protagonist is, and what the core tension appears to be — in one sentence, then use AskUserQuestion:

  • Question: "I'm reading this as: [your one-sentence framing of the situation and its current frame]. 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 situation than read; incorporate the correction before proceeding

Step 2: Identify What the Current Frame Hides Every frame foregrounds some things and backgrounds others. What does the current frame make invisible, irrelevant, or unthinkable? Who loses standing in this frame? What solutions become impossible to see?

Step 3: Generate 3–4 Alternative Frames For each alternative, change at least one of: protagonist, problem definition, success criteria, or time horizon. Assign each alternative a short name.

Step 4: Assess Each Alternative What does each alternative frame reveal that the current frame hides? Who gains standing? What solutions become visible? What previously central concerns become peripheral?

Step 5: Select the Most Useful Frame Before narrowing: Show the complete set of alternative frames generated in Step 3 to the user first. Use AskUserQuestion:

  • Question: "I've identified [N] alternative frames. Before I select the most useful one, are there any you'd flag as especially promising, or any framing I've missed?"
  • Header: "Prioritise"
  • Options:
    • Proceed with your selection — the set looks right
    • Flag one — user will name a specific frame to prioritise
    • Add a missing one — user will describe an alternative frame to include
