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

brand-protection 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 9d 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 — 159 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Strategy: Brand Protection

Guides discovery, reporting, and prevention of brand impersonation—fake websites, phishing sites, trademark infringement, and domain squatting. See domain-selection for defensive domain registration; trust-badges for official site verification signals; about-page for identity declaration.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for brand name, official domain, and key assets.

Identify:

  1. Impersonation type: Fake website, phishing, trademark misuse, domain squatting
  2. Evidence available: Screenshots, URLs, WHOIS, hosting info
  3. Legal assets: Registered trademark, copyright ownership
  4. Impact: Traffic interception (fake site ranks for brand queries)? Payment fraud (users pay on fake site, then contact official support)?

Evidence Collection Checklist

Item Action
Full URLs Document all key pages of the fake site
Screenshots Homepage, product pages, logo, layout; include date/time
Comparison Side-by-side: official vs fake (layout, logo, copy similarity)
WHOIS Use ICANN Lookup for registrar, creation date, registrant
Hosting IP lookup to identify hosting provider

Reporting Channels (Priority Order)

Channel Entry Use Case
Domain registrar Abuse / Report Misuse on registrar site Brand impersonation, trademark, fraud
Hosting provider Same; submit abuse form Hosting infringing content
Google Safe Browsing Report Phishing Phishing / impersonation risk
Google Trademark Trademark Complaint or [email protected] Trademark infringement in search; requires registered trademark
Bing Content Removal Content Moderation Platform Copyright/trademark; content removal from Bing
Payment processors PayPal Resolution Center, Stripe support If fake site accepts payments; report fraud
Social platforms X, Facebook, Instagram abuse forms If fake site is promoted or linked there
Google Ads / Microsoft Ads Platform trademark complaint forms If impersonator runs brand ads
DMCA To hosting provider Copyright infringement; images, copy, design copied
ICANN DNS Abuse complaint If registrar does not respond within reasonable time

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.
