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-one-on-one 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 — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Run One-on-One

Make every 1:1 a high-signal conversation that builds trust, surfaces problems early, and develops the direct report.

Why This Is Best Practice

Adopted by: Manager Tools methodology used by 5M+ managers; Andy Grove formalized 1:1s at Intel as a core management tool Impact: Gallup research shows that managers who hold regular 1:1s reduce voluntary turnover by up to 25% and improve engagement scores by 3× compared to ad-hoc check-ins

Why best: The 1:1 is the primary tool for a manager to learn what is actually happening on the ground. It belongs to the direct report, not the manager — inverting the usual power dynamic creates psychological safety and honest reporting.

Steps

  1. Schedule at a fixed time — Same day, same time, weekly. Treat cancellation as a last resort. Consistency signals that the person matters.
  2. Prepare a shared agenda doc — Both parties add items before the meeting. The direct report's items go first. Use a running doc so nothing is lost between weeks.
  3. Open with the direct report's topics — Ask "What's on your mind?" and let them lead for the first half. Do not fill silence with your own agenda.
  4. Listen for signals under the surface — Note frustration, disengagement, or repeated themes. Ask clarifying questions: "Tell me more about that" and "What would make this better?"
  5. Cover your own topics in the second half — Feedback, context, blockers you can remove, strategic direction. Be specific and brief.
  6. Deliver feedback in SBI format — Situation, Behavior, Impact. "In Tuesday's design review [S], you interrupted two teammates [B], which shut down ideas before we heard them [I]."
  7. Close with one commitment each — Both parties name one concrete action before the next 1:1. Write it in the shared doc.

Rules

  • The 1:1 is the direct report's meeting, not the manager's status update.
  • Never cancel; reschedule the same day if unavoidable.
  • Keep notes in a shared doc both parties can read and add to.
  • Do not use the 1:1 to deliver surprise performance news — that requires a separate conversation.
  • Rotate between professional development, project work, and personal check-in topics across weeks.
