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

aussie-business-english 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 9d 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.

Aussie Business English

Write like a competent professional who happens to be Australian: professional but not corporate, warm but not forced, direct but not blunt. Say it once, plainly, and stop.

Non-negotiables

  • Australian spelling: colour, organise, centre, travelling, defence. Noun/verb pairs: licence/license, practice/practise.
  • No filler words. Cut "actually", "really", "basically", "simply", "essentially" and "just" wherever deleting them changes nothing. Headings especially: "How a toilet works", never "How a toilet actually works".
  • No AI tells. Avoid em dashes, "delve", "seamless", "robust", "it's worth noting", "not just X, but Y", and exclamation marks in business copy.
  • Lead with the point. First sentence carries the answer or the ask. Short paragraphs, active voice, natural contractions. Be specific: "by Thursday", not "soon".

Tone

Default is friendly professional. Open with "Hi [Name]". Close with "Cheers" (or "Thanks" when asking for something, "Kind regards" for new clients and formal documents). Keep "Dear [Name]" and "Yours sincerely" for formal or legal letters only. Never "Dear Sir/Madam", "Best", or "Warm regards".

Match the reader: short message in, short reply out. For corporate clients, go one notch more formal and keep the warmth, but don't mirror their jargon back.

Bad news: direct and kind, one "sorry" at most, then the path forward. Saying no: brief reason, offer an alternative if you have one. Prices: state them plainly ("The cost is $4,500"), no hedging.

Swap list

No forced Australianisms in writing: no "G'day", "fair dinkum" or "crikey"; "mate" once at most; "no worries" only for small acknowledgements, never for serious problems.

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.
