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

guided-requirements-interview 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.

Guided Requirements Interview

Core Workflow

  1. Identify the target artifact: BRD, PRD, feature spec, implementation brief, decision memo, project plan, research plan, or another structured output.
  2. Start with a compact working draft from what is already known.
  3. Ask one to three focused questions at a time, ordered by decision value: outcome, users/stakeholders, scope, current state, future state, constraints, success metrics, risks, approvals, and handoff needs.
  4. After each answer, update the working draft silently or with a short delta summary when alignment matters.
  5. Separate confirmed facts, assumptions, options, open questions, and decisions still needed.
  6. Stop questioning when the next question would not materially improve the artifact, then provide the completed draft plus remaining gaps.

Interview Style

  • Be direct, specific, and low-friction. Prefer practical questions over generic discovery prompts.
  • Keep the user aligned by showing short checkpoints: what is known, what was decided, what remains uncertain, and what the next question will unlock.
  • Use progressive disclosure. Ask broad framing questions first, then drill into details only when the answer changes requirements, scope, acceptance criteria, risk, or approval needs.
  • Avoid interrogating the user with a long questionnaire. If many gaps exist, group them into short rounds and explain the purpose of each round.
  • Offer reasonable defaults when the user is unsure, but label them as defaults or assumptions.
  • Preserve user language for goals, pain points, and stakeholder concerns when it may affect alignment.

Question Ladder

Use the smallest useful subset:

  1. Outcome: What business or user outcome should this create?
  2. Audience: Who is affected, who decides, and who approves?
  3. Problem: What is broken, costly, slow, risky, unclear, or missing today?
  4. Scope: What must be included, excluded, or deferred?
  5. Current state: How does the workflow, system, or decision happen now?
  6. Future state: What should be different when this is successful?
  7. Requirements: What must be true for the result to work?
  8. Constraints: What limits budget, timing, tools, data, policy, compliance, or staffing?
  9. Success: How will success be measured or accepted?
  10. Risks: What could fail, be misunderstood, or create rework?
  11. Handoff: Who needs the artifact next, and what decision should it support?

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.
