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

paper-signal-series 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 12d 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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Paper Signal Series

Turn content into a sequence with one editorial promise and several visually distinct images. Shared material creates continuity; each card's subject controls its composition.

Load the shared system

Read these companion files from ../paper-signal/:

  1. references/core-workflow.md
  2. references/subject-routing.md
  3. references/visual-language.md
  4. references/content-architecture.md
  5. references/presets.md
  6. references/prompt-compiler.md
  7. references/quality-contract.md

Read references/evidence-ledger.md for factual claims and references/human-voice.md for personal-sharing or recommendation copy.

Workflow

1. Resolve the post promise

Write one sentence describing what the viewer will feel, understand, or decide after the final swipe. Split unrelated outcomes into separate posts.

Extract platform, audience, source material, language, image count, visible text, supplied photos, exact facts, caption need, public-source-label policy, and output destination.

2. Choose the sequence strategy

Select one:

  • story-led — atmosphere or experience opens the sequence; reveal context gradually.
  • value-led — conclusion first; follow with useful evidence, tradeoffs, and fit.
  • visual-led — hero image first; alternate context, detail, object, person, and pause.

Recommend one strategy and count. Default to 4-6 images for ordinary social posts and three substantial items when each needs facts, tradeoffs, and fit.

3. Build the content architecture

Create:

  • analysis.md — promise, audience tension, source/evidence map, scope, and visual opportunities
  • outline.md — one job, takeaway, exact on-image text, subject route, composition mode, caption handoff, and swipe reason per image
  • caption.md — natural publishable copy when requested
  • evidence.json — only when facts, reviews, rankings, numbers, or source documents are involved

Keep one dominant idea per image. Move nuance to the caption.

4. Route every image independently

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.
