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

docs-coauthor 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 5d 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.

Doc Co-Authoring Workflow

Degree of freedom: MIXED. What to ask and what to keep [HIGH freedom]; the three-stage order, six-step section loop, and Reader Testing [LOW freedom — run exactly].

a structured workflow for guiding users through collaborative document creation. Act as an active guide, walking users through three stages: Context Gathering, Refinement & Structure, and Reader Testing.

Guiding principle — orient the reader before the mechanism. Even a spec, PRD, or RFC should open by answering what this is, why it exists, and who it's for — in plain language — before diving into detail. That's the same reader-first instinct this workflow's Reader Testing stage enforces at the end; apply it from the first sentence. See docs-writer for the full "write for the reader's mental model first" rule.

How to reason

  1. Observe — doc type, audience, desired impact, template or existing draft
  2. Interpret — what the next reader will lack that the authors already know
  3. Classify — offer the workflow / work freeform / start at the highest-unknown section
  4. Test — predict reader questions; a fresh instance must answer them from the doc alone

Worked example

Observe: "write a PRD for billing v2"; no audience named; a Slack thread already rejected a usage-only model. Interpret: that rejection is oral — a pasted PRD will fail when a reader (or a fresh agent) lacks it. Classify: offer the three stages; Context Gathering first (eng + finance; impact = stop re-arguing usage-only). Do not draft the PRD in the first reply.

Self-critique before reporting

  • Reader-first open — what / why / who before mechanism
  • Fresh-instance test ran — an author reread is not Reader Testing
  • User owns the doc — they confirm impact; you do not ship unreviewed
  • Right owner — INDEX.md / rejected alternatives → docs-adr; README prose → docs-writer

When to Offer This Workflow [HIGH freedom]

Trigger conditions:

  • User mentions writing documentation: "write a doc", "draft a proposal", "create a spec", "write up"
  • User mentions specific doc types: "PRD", "design doc", "decision doc", "RFC"
  • User seems to be starting a substantial writing task

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.
