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

design-thinking 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 5d 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.

5 Phases

Phase 1: EMPATHIZE (공감)

Understand the user's world:

  • Interview: Open-ended questions. "Tell me about the last time you..."
  • Observe: Watch behavior (what people DO, not what they SAY)
  • Immerse: Experience the problem yourself
  • Empathy Map: Think | Feel | Say | Do

Output: User quotes, observations, surprises, pain points

Phase 2: DEFINE (정의)

Synthesize insights into a clear problem statement:

  • POV (Point of View): [USER] needs to [NEED] because [INSIGHT]
  • "How Might We" questions: Reframe problems as opportunities
    • Too broad: "HMW fix everything?" → useless
    • Too narrow: "HMW add a button?" → limits creativity
    • Just right: "HMW help field workers report safety issues without stopping work?"

Output: POV statement + 3-5 HMW questions

Phase 3: IDEATE (아이디어)

Generate many ideas without judgment:

  • Rules: Defer judgment, encourage wild ideas, build on others' ideas, go for quantity
  • Techniques: Brainstorm, Worst Possible Idea, SCAMPER, Analogies
  • SCAMPER: Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to other use, Eliminate, Reverse

Output: 20+ ideas → vote → top 3 to prototype

Phase 4: PROTOTYPE (프로토타입)

Build to think:

  • Low fidelity: Paper, cardboard, sticky notes, role play
  • Speed: Hours, not weeks
  • Purpose: Learn, not prove
  • "If a picture is worth a thousand words, a prototype is worth a thousand meetings"

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.
