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

payoff-action-modeling 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.

Outcome Action Modeling

Use this skill before designing or polishing any UI state where the user has achieved a meaningful outcome and now needs to understand what happened, what exists, and what to do next.

This applies to AI products, CRUD systems, dashboards, onboarding flows, imports, uploads, reporting tools, automation tools, admin panels, PM tools, CMS platforms, deployment or sync flows, collaborative review systems, and workflow products.

The goal is to answer: "Now that the user has value or progress, what might they reasonably want to do next, and where should each action live?"

Core Output

Produce an action model with:

  • Primary outcome: the result, resource, state, or completion the user should understand first.
  • Outcome state type: completion, generation, workspace, review, handoff, recovery, or continuation.
  • User questions: realistic "What if I want to..." questions from the user's point of view.
  • Action scope: outcome, selection, item, continuation, navigation, recovery, or assistance.
  • Intent pressure: immediate, contextual, or deferred.
  • UI placement: primary CTA, secondary action, per-item action, row menu, accordion detail, bulk toolbar, empty/optional state, status area, shell navigation, or next screen.
  • Required vs optional: whether the action must be visible now or can be deferred.
  • Copy: short labels written as user-facing outcomes, not implementation details.

Use this table shape unless the user requests another format:

User question Scope Pressure Action Placement Required? Label
How do I open one item? item contextual open item details per-item action yes, if item inspection matters Open
How do I act on everything? outcome immediate apply action to full result primary CTA yes Download all
How do I recover a removed item? recovery deferred restore from history secondary action or history screen yes, if removal exists Restore

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.
