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

verify-public-claims 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 1mo 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.

Verify Public Claims

Turn public-facing statements into a traceable claim ledger, then revise the copy so every material assertion matches the available evidence.

1. Establish the review contract

  • Confirm the copy, intended audience, publication surface, relevant date, and evidence supplied by the user.
  • Identify whether the request covers factual accuracy, freshness, wording strength, source quality, or all four.
  • Browse current public sources when a claim may have changed or the user asks for current verification.
  • Use only public sources or evidence the user has approved for this review.
  • Do not treat inaccessible, login-only, or missing material as verified.

2. Build the claim ledger

  • Use assets/claim-ledger-template.md.
  • Split compound sentences when their parts need different evidence.
  • Record the exact claim, source, publication date, event date when different, verification date, evidence excerpt or paraphrase, and intended rewrite.
  • Read references/evidence-statuses.md before assigning a status.
  • Focus on claims that affect trust, decisions, eligibility, scope, performance, recency, identity, or attribution.

3. Classify each claim

Use exactly one primary status:

  • supported: direct, relevant, sufficiently current evidence supports the wording
  • qualified: the core is supported, but the wording needs a limit, date, scope, or attribution
  • inference: the conclusion is reasonable but is not stated directly by the evidence
  • unsupported: no adequate evidence supports the material claim
  • stale: the evidence may once have supported the claim but is too old for present-tense use

When sources conflict, preserve the conflict in the ledger and prefer the most direct authoritative current source. Do not resolve uncertainty by averaging, guessing, or silently choosing the most favorable version.

4. Rewrite to the evidence level

  • Keep supported claims precise.
  • Add the required scope, date, source, or attribution to qualified claims.
  • Label inference as analysis, interpretation, estimate, or recommendation.
  • Remove unsupported claims or replace them with narrower wording that the evidence supports.
  • Update stale claims only when a current source is available; otherwise hold or date the wording.
  • Never invent citations, metrics, testimonials, dates, credentials, customers, outcomes, or source access.

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.
