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

article-writing 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.

What it actually says

CIEL ADAPTATION: Article Writing (The Content Layer)

This skill formalizes the creation of long-form content that avoids the "AI Smoothing" trap. it prioritizes proof, artifacts, and a distinctive point of view.

Core Mandates

  1. Example First: Lead with code, a screenshot, or a number. Explain AFTER the example.
  2. Tight Sentences: Eliminate throat-clearing bridges (e.g., "In today's landscape").
  3. Voice Reuse: Pull the VOICE PROFILE from the brand-identity skill.

Writing Pipeline

  • Outline: Build a hard outline where every section has a specific "Job."
  • Draft: Use the "Sharp Operator" voice—concrete, unsentimental, and useful.
  • Audit: Run an Auditor sub-agent to find and delete "game-changer" adjectives.

Quality Gate

  • Factual claims are backed by source files or research.
  • No generic AI transitions.
  • Voice matches the project's Master Guidelines.
  • Formatting is medium-specific (Markdown for GitHub, HTML for Newsletters).

Anti-Patterns

  • Throat-Clearing: Writing 3 paragraphs of introduction before getting to the value.
  • Adjective Bloat: Using "revolutionary" instead of showing the actual performance metrics.
  • Fake Vulnerability: Adding manufactured "founder struggles" for engagement juice.

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.
