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

proofread-academic 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 25d 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 — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Read as the examiner reads, with a pen. This skill produces findings, not a rewrite: the student stays the author, and every change is theirs to make. Report locations as file:line (or section and paragraph for Word exports).

Pass 1: structure

  • Does the introduction state the research questions verbatim, and does the conclusion answer each in order?
  • Does every chapter open with what it covers and close with what it established?
  • Read only the first sentence of every paragraph: is it the claim? Does the sequence make an argument?
  • Are headings parallel in form and specific (not "Results" for three chapters in a row)?
  • Is anything promised ("Section 4.3 discusses") that does not exist?

Pass 2: consistency

  • Terms: one name per concept. Build the list as you read; flag every synonym pair ("model" and "system" for the same thing) with both locations.
  • Acronyms: defined at first use, then used consistently; not defined twice; not defined in the abstract and never used again. List every acronym with its first definition.
  • Notation: each symbol means one thing thesis-wide; vectors, sets, and scalars typeset consistently; units consistent (ms throughout, not ms then s).
  • Names: the proposed system, datasets, and baselines named identically everywhere, including figures and tables.
  • Tense and voice per section (past for method and prior work, present for results and truths), and one first-person convention throughout.

Pass 3: figures, tables, equations

  • Every figure and table referenced in the text before it appears, by number, with the reference resolving (?? or "Figure" with no number is a broken ref).
  • Captions self-contained: content, conditions, what to notice, what error bars mean and n.
  • Axes labelled with units; legends readable; the same series the same colour across figures.
  • Tables: units in headers, consistent decimals per column, best result marked if the text says "best".
  • Equations numbered if referenced; every symbol introduced in prose near the equation.

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.
