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

vendor-negotiation-prep 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.

What it actually says

Vendor Negotiation Prep

Core Workflow

  1. Identify vendor, contract context, spend, renewal date, alternatives, operational dependency, and desired outcome.
  2. Separate known terms, assumptions, missing terms, and sensitive negotiation posture.
  3. Define negotiation goals, walk-away criteria, concessions, risks, and fallback options.
  4. Prepare talking points, questions, and evidence to support the ask.
  5. Flag legal, finance, procurement, customer, or operational review needs.
  6. Produce a concise negotiation brief and follow-up checklist.

Safety Rules

  • This is preparation support only, not legal, tax, accounting, procurement, or financial advice.
  • Do not invent contract terms, vendor commitments, legal rights, or savings.
  • Require owner or counsel review before contract changes, termination, payment disputes, or legal assertions.

Deliverable Shape

For vendor negotiation prep, provide:

  • Vendor context
  • Current terms and missing terms
  • Negotiation goals
  • Leverage and alternatives
  • Talking points and questions
  • Risks and review needs
  • Follow-up checklist

References

  • Read references/vendor-negotiation-prep-checklist.md when preparing vendor negotiation briefs, renewal tradeoffs, or vendor decision memos.

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.
