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-family-business-governance 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 1mo 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.

Design Family Business Governance

Establish governance structures addressing the specific tension between family dynamics and business decision-making — a family council separate from the operating board, a written family charter or constitution, and defined succession criteria — rather than relying on informal family relationships to substitute for genuine governance structure.

Why This Is Best Practice

Adopted by: The International Finance Corporation's "Family Business Governance Handbook" documents structured family governance — including a distinct family council alongside (not merged with) the business's operating board — as standard practice among family enterprises that have successfully navigated multi-generational transitions, based on IFC's advisory work with family businesses across emerging and developed markets. Impact: Family businesses without a distinct governance structure separating family matters from business operations are documented to experience measurably higher rates of conflict during leadership transitions and lower rates of successful transition to a second or third generation, compared to family businesses with formal governance structures addressing this specific tension proactively. Why best: Family relationships and business governance operate on genuinely different logics — family relationships are typically unconditional and lifelong, while business roles require performance-based accountability and can require difficult decisions (removing an underperforming family member from an operational role) that family dynamics alone tend to resist; a distinct family council and written charter is what creates space to address family-specific concerns (fairness among branches, family employment policy) separately from the operating board's business-performance-focused decisions, rather than letting family dynamics inappropriately override business decision-making or vice versa.

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.
