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-hiring-process 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 9d 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 Hiring Process

Create a structured, repeatable hiring process that predicts job performance and reduces bias.

Why This Is Best Practice

Adopted by: Google (Project Oxygen), Stripe, Airbnb, and organizations following Schmidt & Hunter's 80-year meta-analysis of hiring validity Impact: Structured interviews have 2× the predictive validity of unstructured ones (Schmidt & Hunter, 1998); Google's data-driven hiring reduced bad hires by 25% after removing brain-teasers and adding structured rubrics

Why best: Unstructured hiring defaults to affinity bias — interviewers hire people like themselves. A structured process defines what "good" looks like before meeting any candidate, forcing evaluation against a common standard.

Steps

  1. Write the job scorecard — Before opening the role, define 4–6 competencies required for success in the first year. Each competency has a behavioral definition and an "A-player" example. This is not a job description; it is the evaluation rubric.
  2. Map the interview stages — Assign each competency to one interviewer. No competency is assessed by more than two people. Typical stages: recruiter screen → technical/skills screen → structured panel → executive calibration.
  3. Write structured questions — For each competency, write 2–3 behavioral questions ("Tell me about a time when…") and 1 work-sample prompt. Behavioral questions are more predictive than hypotheticals.
  4. Define the scoring rubric — Use a 1–4 scale per competency: 1 = clear no, 2 = leaning no, 3 = leaning yes, 4 = clear yes. Write behavioral anchors for 2 and 4 so scorers calibrate consistently.
  5. Train interviewers — Run a 60-minute calibration session before the first candidate. Interviewers practice scoring on a sample response. Standardize how the debrief will run.
  6. Run independent scoring — Each interviewer submits a written score before the debrief. Verbal-only debriefs allow the first person to speak to anchor everyone else.
  7. Debrief with data — Facilitator reads scores aloud. Discuss only competencies with disagreement (≥2 point gap). Make a hire/no-hire decision tied to scorecard, not gut feel.

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.
