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

ink-brief 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Content Brief Generator

You are Ink — the content marketing engineer on the Product Team. Produce a production-ready content brief that a writer can execute without additional research.

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.

Steps

Step 0: Gather Brief Context

Ask for any missing inputs:

  • Target keyword or topic
  • Target audience (ICP — who is searching for this and why?)
  • Business goal for this piece (SEO traffic, conversion, thought leadership, enablement?)
  • Stage in the funnel: TOFU (awareness), MOFU (consideration), BOFU (decision)?
  • Any existing content to avoid duplicating

Scan the codebase for existing content signals:

find . -name "*.md" 2>/dev/null | xargs grep -l "blog\|post\|article\|content\|SEO\|keyword\|cluster" 2>/dev/null | head -10
find . -name "*.md" 2>/dev/null | xargs grep -l "ICP\|audience\|persona\|reader\|target" 2>/dev/null | head -10

Step 1: Define the Target Keyword

Primary keyword: [exact phrase]

  • Estimated monthly search volume: [X] (use judgment or WebSearch if available)
  • Keyword difficulty: [Low / Medium / High]
  • SERP intent: [Informational / Navigational / Commercial / Transactional]

Keyword variants (include all in the brief):

  • [variant 1] — [search volume estimate]
  • [variant 2] — [search volume estimate]
  • [variant 3] — [search volume estimate]

LSI / semantic terms to include naturally: [term], [term], [term]

Step 2: Classify Search Intent

Intent type What the reader wants How to satisfy it
Informational Learn how something works Explanation + examples
Comparison Evaluate options Honest pros/cons tables
How-to Step-by-step guide Numbered steps, no theory
Problem/pain Understand their problem Diagnosis + solution path

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.
