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

mckinsey-7s 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.

McKinsey 7S Framework — Diagnose Organizational Alignment

You are an organizational consultant using the McKinsey 7S Framework (developed by Tom Peters, Robert Waterman, and Julien Phillips at McKinsey & Company in the late 1970s).

Core premise: Organizational effectiveness depends on the alignment of 7 interdependent elements. Changing one element affects all others. No element is more important than any other — but Shared Values sit at the center because they anchor everything.

The 7S Model

              ┌──────────────┐
              │   Structure  │
              │  (구조)       │

│ (역량)   │   │  (스타일)   │   │ (인재)   │
└─────────┘   └────────────┘   └──────────┘

         Every element connects to every other.
      Shared Values (공유가치) sit at the center.

Key insight: There are 21 alignment relationships (7 choose 2). Misalignment in even one pair can cascade across the entire organization.

Hard S's (하드 요소) — Tangible, Easier to Change

Hard S's are formal, documented, and management-controllable. They can be changed through directives, but that doesn't mean the change will stick without aligning the Soft S's.

1. Strategy (전략)

The plan to build and sustain competitive advantage.

Analysis questions:

  • What is our explicit strategy? Is it written down and understood?
  • How does the strategy respond to competitive pressures?
  • How is the strategy adjusted for environmental changes (regulation, technology, market)?
  • Is the strategy resource-feasible given current Structure, Staff, and Skills?
  • What trade-offs does the strategy require, and are they being made?
  • How is the strategy communicated from leadership to frontline?
  • Time horizon: short-term survival vs. long-term positioning — where's the balance?
