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

run-career-conversation 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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 149 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Run Career Conversation

Have a structured, future-focused dialogue with a direct report about their career aspirations, current gaps, and a concrete plan to grow — separate from performance evaluation and weekly check-ins.

Why This Is Best Practice

Adopted by: Google mandates career development conversations as part of the manager effectiveness framework documented in re:Work; LinkedIn's internal "Employees' Best Interest" model requires managers to explicitly discuss external career opportunities with reports; Microsoft, Adobe, and Deloitte have replaced annual reviews with quarterly check-ins that include career development as a mandatory component; SHRM's Individual Development Plan (IDP) framework is the standard HR template across most enterprise HR systems Impact: Gallup's 2017 research (195k respondents) found that 87% of millennials and 69% of non-millennials rate career development as important to their job, yet only 37% strongly agree their manager helps them develop; LinkedIn's "Why Employees Stay" research (2019) found that employees who feel their manager takes an interest in their career goals are 2.6× more likely to stay; Beverly Kaye's research across 200+ organizations shows that the #1 reason high performers leave is not compensation — it is perceived lack of development opportunity Why best: Weekly one-on-ones focus on current work and immediate blockers; performance reviews evaluate past performance against current-role expectations; neither addresses where the employee wants to go and what they need to get there; without a dedicated career conversation, managers operate on assumptions about what employees want — often wrong assumptions — and employees feel invisible, which is the primary precursor to disengagement and departure

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.
