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

cognitive-accessibility 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.

Cognitive Accessibility

Purpose

Improves content and workflows for users with varied attention, memory, and executive function profiles. Applies cognitive load theory (Sweller, 1988), chunking strategies, and clear information architecture.

When to Use

  • "Simplify this content"
  • "Reduce cognitive load"
  • "Make this more readable"
  • "Chunk this information"
  • "Help users with focus issues"
  • "Improve accessibility for ADHD"
  • "Simplify the user flow"

Boundaries

Always

  • Use clear, simple language
  • Chunk information into small pieces
  • Provide clear signposting
  • Include recovery options

Ask First

  • Confirm before major restructuring
  • Check cultural context

Never

  • Never use jargon without explanation
  • Never create complex multi-step flows without breaks

Principles

This skill is grounded in the Humanity4AI core principles and the following skill-specific principles:

  1. Cognitive load is a spectrum. Users have varying levels of working memory, attention, and executive function. Recommendations must be framed as considerations, not absolute requirements.
  2. Simplicity is not condescension. Clear, simple language and structured layouts respect all users. Avoid framing simplification as "dumbing down".
  3. Explicit uncertainty over false certainty. Acknowledge when a recommendation may not apply to all users or contexts.
  4. Inclusive design benefits everyone. Cognitive accessibility improvements (chunked content, clear headings, reduced distractions) improve usability for all users.
  5. Safety boundaries apply. Do not make medical or clinical claims about cognitive conditions such as ADHD or dyslexia.

Instructions

Step 1: Assess Load

Analyze content for:

  • Sentence length and complexity
  • Jargon and technical terms
  • Multi-step processes
  • Information density

Step 2: Identify Friction

Find:

  • Ambiguous instructions
  • Missing progress indicators
  • No way to save progress
  • Dense paragraphs

Step 3: Recommend Changes

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.
