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

jobs-to-be-done-extractor 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 12d 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.

Jobs-to-be-Done Extractor

This skill reads a folder of custdev transcripts and interview notes (md or txt files) and extracts structured Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD) statements with evidence quotes and cross-file frequency counts. Output is a prioritized JTBD map with confidence labels ready for roadmap and prioritization work.

Input:

  • Folder with custdev files (.md or .txt) — transcripts, interview notes, open-ended survey responses

Output:

  • Markdown JTBD map with ranked statements, evidence quotes, source references, and a Patterns & Gaps section

Language Detection

Detect the user's language from their message:

  • If Russian (or contains Cyrillic): respond in Russian
  • If English (or other Latin-script language): respond in English
  • If ambiguous: respond in the language of the trigger phrase used

Instructions

Step 1: Validate and Read Input Files

  1. Ask the user to point to the folder containing custdev files (if not already provided).
  2. List all .md and .txt files in the folder.
    • If no files found: stop. Report: "No input files found. Point me to a folder with custdev transcripts or notes (md or txt)."
    • If files found: report count — "Reading N files from [folder]."
  3. Read each file sequentially.
    • If a file is empty or unreadable: skip it, note filename — "Skipped: [filename] — empty or unreadable." Continue with remaining files.
  4. If only 1 file found: note — "Single source — frequency analysis not applicable. All statements treated as low-confidence."
  5. If more than 15 files found: warn — "Large file set — review may take longer. Consider running on a subset for faster iteration." Then proceed with processing all files.

Step 2: Extract User Motivation Signals

  1. For each file, identify sentences or passages that contain:
    • Explicit user goals ("I want to...", "I need to...", "I'm trying to...")
    • Recurring frustrations or pain points ("it's hard to...", "I hate when...", "I always have to...")
    • Workarounds the user performs to achieve a goal
    • Desired outcomes ("it would be great if...", "I wish I could...")
    • Direct quotes about motivations or context

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.
