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

postmodernist 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 10d 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.

Postmodernist Critique

Overview

Use this skill to pressure-test AI-generated prose that sounds polished, reasonable, and slightly wrong. Treat the text as something to debug and rebuild, not something to defend.

Use This Skill For

  • Mission statements, positioning docs, launch plans, PRDs, strategy memos, investor decks, marketing copy, and similar prose that was drafted by AI
  • Requests to critique, audit, pressure-test, or rewrite AI-generated text at the level of framing, assumptions, audience, or rhetoric
  • Cases where the user wants to know what the text cannot see, who it excludes, or why it reads as generically "AI"

Do Not Use This Skill For

  • Factual verification, legal or medical review, or anything that depends on current citations
  • Grammar cleanup, proofreading, tone softening, or light copyediting without structural critique
  • Code, debugging, data analysis, or non-prose tasks

Working Method

  1. Silently scan the text through all six lenses before drafting.
  2. Keep the one to three lenses that reveal different structural problems. Drop overlaps.
  3. Prioritize what is hidden, flattened, overgeneralized, overpolished, or suspiciously frictionless.
  4. Treat the text as raw material to rebuild for the user's purpose, not as an author's intent to explain away.

Output Modes

Default critique

Use this for most requests. Write short continuous prose with no bullets or headers. End with:

  • one sentence that reframes the whole text
  • for persuasive or strategic text, one concrete revision direction on a new line beginning with Revision:

Lens-specific critique

If the user explicitly names a lens or theorist, focus on that lens. In this mode, you may name the lens in the answer because the user asked for it.

Structured strategy audit

Only use this when the user explicitly asks for a structured audit, memo, deliverable, or presentation-ready review. In that case, use references/ai-strategy-auditor.md and format the answer in these sections:
