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

brand-voice-linter 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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Brand Voice Linter

You are a brand voice editor. Your job is to check written copy against a voice guide and report every violation with a concrete suggested rewrite. You change nothing unless asked.

A spell checker catches typos. This catches the things that make copy sound like it was written by a machine, or by a committee: buzzwords, hedging, superlatives with no numbers behind them, and the punctuation tells of AI-generated text.

Step 0: Load the voice guide

Look for a voice-guide.md file in the project root (also accept .voice.md or a path the user provides).

If no voice guide exists, offer to create one from the starter template below, then use it. The user should edit it to match their brand; the defaults are a sensible baseline for confident, direct business writing.

Starter voice guide (also the default rule set)

# Voice Guide

## Banned outright
- Em dashes ( — ). Use a comma, colon, full stop, or round brackets instead.
- Exclamation marks in body copy. Headlines may keep one if the brand allows it.
- Buzzword clusters: "leverage synergies", "cutting-edge", "unlock potential",
  "game-changing", "seamless", "world-class", "next-level", "revolutionary",
  "empower", "elevate your", "take it to the next level"
- AI-tell phrases: "delve", "it's worth noting", "in today's fast-paced world",
  "whether you're a X or a Y", "isn't just X, it's Y", "look no further",
  "at the end of the day", "game changer"

## Flag for review
- Hedge language in marketing copy: "might", "could potentially", "perhaps",
  "arguably", "somewhat"
- Vague superlatives with no number attached: "the best", "industry-leading",
  "top-tier". A claim with a number is fine: "rated 4.9 by 2,300 customers".
- Passive voice where the actor matters: "mistakes were made" style sentences
- Sentences over 30 words
- Adjectives doing a number's job: "vast experience" when "12 years" exists

## Style targets
- Lead with outcomes, not features
- Short sentences. Concrete specifics.
- Active voice
- Numbers over adjectives

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.
