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

finance-log scanned grade A 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 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.

Strips warnings and disclaimerslowAnti-refusal

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

The questions do not moralize. They state the math and ask the user to sit with it.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 400 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Finance Log

The money truth skill. Reads the user's transaction log. Computes burn, income, runway, and stale subscriptions. Surfaces the gap between what the user said they would spend and what the bank statements show.

Solopreneurs with a day job lie to themselves about three things: how much the business is making, how much the business is costing, and how long they can keep going if income drops. Finance-log makes each of those a number on a page.

When this skill triggers

  • /finance-log
  • /finance-check
  • /monthly-finance
  • "Burn audit"
  • "Runway check"
  • "Income vs expense"
  • "What am I spending"
  • "Am I making money"
  • "Are there subscriptions I should kill"
  • "Monthly check-in"
  • Last Friday of every month (when called by ship-it-friday or file-sweep)
  • Inside weekly-brief (lightweight check only)

The data source

Read business-setup-playbook/finance-log.csv (or wherever the user pointed it during /customize-from-assessment).

Expected schema (one row per transaction):

date, type, category, vendor, amount, currency, note, tags
2026-05-22, expense, software, MailerLite, 0.00, USD, free tier, monthly
2026-05-22, expense, software, HubSpot, 20.00, USD, Starter SKU, monthly
2026-05-15, income, client, Sam, 800.00, USD, Foundation mo 2, client-payment
2026-05-01, expense, hosting, Microsoft 365, 6.00, USD, M365 Business Basic, monthly

If the CSV is missing or has fewer than 30 rows, ask the user to either:

  1. Drop the last 30 days of transactions manually (one per line), or
  2. Connect their bank export, or
  3. Open examples/finance-log-starter.csv and start logging this month forward.

Do NOT fabricate finance data. Estimated burn is worse than honest blank burn.

The five computations

When /finance-log fires, compute and print all five.

1. Monthly burn (trailing 30 days)

Sum of all expense rows in the last 30 days. Categorize by tag:

  • Recurring (tags include monthly or annual or subscription)
  • One-time (everything else)

Changes

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.
