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

behavioral-frameworks 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 6d 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.

Behavioral Frameworks

STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result)

Primary structure for behavioral answers. Every story should map to exactly one S, T, A, R.

Situation

The context that made the problem worth solving. Sets stakes without over-explaining.

  • Name the product/system/team and its scale (users, dollar impact, team size).
  • Surface the constraint or threat that created urgency — why did this matter now.
  • Keep it to 2-3 sentences; interviewers need orientation, not a history lesson.

Weak: "We had a frontend codebase that was getting kind of hard to work with and everyone was writing their own components."

Strong: "At Acme, our five frontend teams were duplicating UI components across three apps. QA bounce-backs on UI-heavy features ran at ~40%, and each sprint lost roughly two engineer-days to inconsistent implementations."

Task

The specific outcome you were accountable for — your mandate, not the team's.

  • State your ownership explicitly: "I was responsible for…" not "the team needed to…"
  • Distinguish your goal from the broader business goal (they can differ).
  • Name any constraints: timeline, budget, staffing, political opposition.

Weak: "We decided to build a shared component library so things would be more consistent."

Strong: "I was tasked with designing and driving adoption of a shared component library with a hard deadline of Q2 — without a formal mandate, meaning I needed buy-in from five team leads who had no obligation to participate."

Action

The decisions you made and the steps you took. This is the longest element (~50% of the answer).

  • Use "I" — own the decisions. Reserve "we" for work the team genuinely did autonomously.
  • Sequence decisions, not just activities: what did you decide, and why did you choose that path over alternatives?
  • Include at least one obstacle and how you navigated it.

Weak: "We built the library, documented it, and did roadshows to get people to use it. We also added linting rules and set up CI checks."

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.
