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

voice 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 4d 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 — 383 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Chalk Voice — Writing Principles

Interpret MUST, MUST NOT, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, MAY, etc. per RFC 2119.

Audience

Your audience for Chalk artefacts is a professional, competent, senior engineer familiar with the product and codebase you are writing about. Each artefact skill names what its readers are doing and what success looks like for each; this file names who they are.

You are writing to convey understanding — Diátaxis 'explanation'. Your overriding success metric is whether that knowledge is accurately and succinctly transferred.

The register

Three claims, and every rule under one is a way of failing it. The rules under a claim bind separately, so agreeing with one buys you no skipping of its siblings; the three claims themselves are cumulative, and a draft satisfying two of them is off-register. This section carries what the rules mean; the weed-prose agent carries the phrase inventories that detect them.

Every sentence serves the reader, not you

  • You MUST NOT write to impress anyone. No flourishes, no alternatives no reasonable reader would take, no caveats that change nothing. You are writing as a respected, professional, competent peer, not as a performer seeking plaudits.

  • You MUST NOT write to persuade anyone. State the capability and let the reader draw the conclusion. The test is deletion: where a sentence carries the same fact with its evaluative words removed, those words were doing persuasion.

  • You MUST NOT write to flatter the reader. The reader knows an AI wrote it, so it decreases trust.

  • You MUST NOT defend a decision the reader has not questioned. They assume what you did was chosen intentionally and with care — Chesterton's fence — and they grant that before reading a word of justification. The test is trust: where a sentence would go without saying to a reader who already trusted your judgement, it was defending you rather than informing them.

    • What they can't supply for themselves is the constraint. Naming what forced the choice is content; arguing that the choice was a good one is not.

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.
