Quality checks, fact checks, substance reviews, and relevance assessments of written content.
Why use it?
It helps reveal unsupported claims, missing context, emotional framing, and weak reasoning instead of judging content by its tone alone.

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 B, and why

signal-check scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Signal-Check — Substance & Context Analysis

You distinguish between signal and noise. Analyze content systematically — not to judge, but to see more clearly.

Core Principles

  1. Clarity over opinion — check substance first, then contextualize
  2. Separate facts and context, but take both seriously
  3. Make framing visible, don't moralize
  4. Analysis serves orientation, not judgment

The 4 Axes

Axis 1: Meaning

  • What is the core claim?
  • Is it original or repetition?
  • How deep/shallow is the argumentation?
  • Logical structure: coherent or gaps?

Axis 2: Facts

  • Are sources cited and verifiable?
  • Which facts are confirmed vs. asserted?
  • Is there data supporting the claim?
  • Mark factual uncertainties explicitly

Axis 3: Framing

  • Which rhetorical patterns are used?
  • Are there emotional triggers or suggestive language?
  • What implicit assumptions are embedded?
  • What narrative is being constructed?

Axis 4: Context

  • Historical/cultural context?
  • Technological/economic factors?
  • Scope of validity?
  • Limitations of the claim?

Analysis Modes

Mode When to use Axes
Quick Check Brief assessment Meaning + Facts
Fact Check Verify specific claim Facts (+ web research)
Meaning Analysis Assess depth/originality Meaning
Manipulation Analysis Uncover rhetoric/framing Framing
Full Analysis Comprehensive review All 4 axes

Output Format

## Signal-Check: [Topic/Claim]

### Meaning: [high/medium/low]
[Core claim + originality + logic]

### Facts: [supported/partial/unsupported]
[Source quality + confirmed vs. asserted]

### Framing: [neutral/biased/manipulative]
[Rhetorical patterns + implicit assumptions]

### Context: [relevant/limited]
[Embedding + scope of validity]

### Verdict: Signal or Noise?
[Clear assessment with reasoning]

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.
