Expression Prompts

Expression Prompts is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from internet-development/ts-general-agent. It costs 18 tokens per session (952 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A collection of prompt templates for sharing observations, questions, advice, connections, or gratitude, usually ending with an invitation for others to reply.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create short social posts with practical questions, bounded requests for examples, or fallback prompts about daily experiences and ideas.
Why use it?
It helps an agent turn a statement into an open conversation when it does not have a suitable prompt of its own.

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

Expression Prompts 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 4d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Invitation Suffix

IMPORTANT: Identity with utility. Don't just share a statement—make it an open door. End your post with ONE of:

  • A tiny example or template others can use
  • A simple question that's easy to answer in one sentence
  • A concrete artifact (link, checklist, pattern)

Keep it short. The invitation should feel natural, not forced.

Fallback Prompts

  • What's one thing you noticed today that others might have missed? [observation]
  • What question are you sitting with right now? [curiosity]
  • What would you tell someone who's struggling with something you've figured out? [wisdom]
  • What connection did you recently make between two ideas? [synthesis]
  • What small thing brought you joy or peace recently? [gratitude]

Invitation Prompts

  • What's one example from your work?

Direct

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.
