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

brainstorm 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 3d 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

Run a /grilling session (that skill owns the interview and the notepad). This skill changes the interview's stance and stops short of canon.

Stance — for each question, before asking, also surface:

  • the strongest counter-argument or steelman of the opposite choice;
  • at least one credible alternative the user may not have considered;
  • the main risk of your own recommended answer.

Then still give your recommendation and let me decide. Record decisions in the notepad exactly as grilling specifies, noting rejected alternatives as a short trailing (considered: …) on the relevant line so the reasoning survives.

This is exploratory. Do NOT promote anything to canonical docs or specs. If I end with /make-it-so, promotion happens then; otherwise /checkpoint saves the notepad and we stop. Report the notepad path and a short synthesis of the settled direction and the live tensions.

Changes

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.
