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

uk-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 178 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

UK Business English

Professional and measured. Polite without being obsequious. Direct without being abrupt. Naturally British without being a caricature. Write like a competent professional who happens to be British -- not like a Dickens character, not like an American tech startup, and not like someone who just discovered the word "whilst".

Spelling (EN-GB)

Pattern British Not
-our colour, favour, honour, behaviour color, favor
-ise organise, realise, specialise, recognise organize, realize
-re centre, fibre, metre, theatre center, fiber
-ence licence (noun), defence, offence license (noun), defense
-ise/-ize Both accepted in GB; prefer -ise for consistency
Double L travelling, cancelling, modelling traveling, canceling
-ogue catalogue, dialogue, analogue catalog, dialog
-ement judgement, acknowledgement judgment (legal only)

Noun/verb splits:

Noun Verb
licence license
practice practise
advice advise

Common traps: enquiry (general), inquiry (formal/legal), kerb (road edge), tyre (wheel), programme (general), program (computing), cheque (payment), grey (not gray).

Date format: Day Month Year, no comma -- 15 January 2026. Abbreviated: 15 Jan 2026. Never Month/Day/Year.

Tone Ladder

Match formality to context. Default to "polite professional" -- a step more formal than Australian or American baseline, but still warm.

Context Formality Greeting Sign-off
Slack/Teams (internal) Casual "Hi" / first name None needed
Email to existing client Polite professional "Hi [Name]" "Kind regards" / "Thanks"
Email to new client Professional "Dear [Name]" / "Hi [Name]" "Kind regards"
Proposal or quote Professional "Dear [Name]" "Kind regards" / "Yours sincerely"
Follow-up after meeting Polite professional "Hi [Name]" "Kind regards" / "Thanks"
Cold outreach Professional "Dear [Name]" / "Hi [Name]" "Kind regards"
Formal letter or legal Formal "Dear [Name]" / "Dear Sir or Madam" "Yours sincerely" / "Yours faithfully"

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.
