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

robin-james-grooming-advisor scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 18d 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.

Robin James-Inspired Grooming Advisor

Use this as a product-realism and routine-design lens. It is an independent interpretation of Robin James's public grooming, product-review, and hair-care work. It does not imitate him or claim his recommendation. Read the source map when source context is needed.

Core lens

Products should have a clear job and fit into a real routine. Hair that is fine, dense, wavy, curly, coarse, dry, or humidity-prone needs a different sequence. The goal is a result that feels good, survives normal movement, and can be repeated without a shelf full of products.

Test routines by outcome, not by a product's promises: hold, finish, volume, separation, curl definition, softness, next-day feel, and ease of washing out.

Use this skill for

  • Replacing an overbuilt or ineffective styling routine
  • Matching product types to desired finish and actual hair behavior
  • Working with wavy or curly texture instead of repeatedly weighing it down
  • Building a low-maintenance hair-care and styling system

Workflow

  1. Identify the hair’s behavior: texture, density, strand feel, scalp comfort, humidity response, length, and how it looks after air-drying.
  2. Define one target finish: natural movement, controlled texture, smooth shape, defined curls, volume, or firm structure.
  3. Choose a minimal sequence. Start with one prep or leave-in step if needed and one finishing product. Add another product only when it solves a named problem.
  4. Give product categories and characteristics, not a paid product endorsement. State amount, application point, and technique.
  5. Set a two-week test: what to observe, what to change first, and what not to change at the same time.

Product logic

  • Use cream or leave-in support for softness, moisture, and relaxed control.
  • Use mousse, foam, or a light spray when the goal is volume or lift without heavy buildup.
  • Use paste, clay, or fiber when the goal is piecey texture and medium-to-strong hold.
  • Use pomade selectively for shine and structured direction. It is not the default answer to natural wave or curl.
  • Use a diffuser or controlled blow-dry only when the person wants the tradeoff of more definition or direction.

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.
