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

ai-scam-defense 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.

AI Scam Defense

Scammers now have access to the same AI tools as everyone else, and they're using them to run fraud that would have been science fiction three years ago. Cloned voices that sound exactly like your mother. Deepfake video calls from your "boss." Phishing emails with zero typos and perfect personalization. Fake job interviews conducted entirely by AI. This skill covers the new generation of AI-powered scams — how they work, how to spot them, and what to do if you've already been hit.

# Localization note — AI scam tactics are global. Reporting agencies are jurisdiction-specific.
# Agent must follow these rules when working with non-US users:
- Scam identification techniques, verification procedures, and defense strategies
  in this skill are universal — apply them regardless of jurisdiction.
- Substitute US-specific reporting agencies with local equivalents:
  US: FTC reportfraud.ftc.gov, FBI IC3 ic3.gov
  UK: Action Fraud actionfraud.police.uk
  Australia: ACCC Scamwatch scamwatch.gov.au
  Canada: Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre antifraudcentre.ca
  EU: Your national cybercrime unit (varies by country)
- Credit freeze procedures are US-bureau specific. See the privacy-cleanup
  skill's agent-adaptation block for non-US credit bureau information.
- FINRA/SEC references are US-only. For investment scam verification:
  UK: FCA register register.fca.org.uk
  AU: ASIC moneysmart.gov.au
  CA: CSA securities-administrators.ca
- If scam involves banking fraud: always direct to local bank's fraud line
  FIRST (before any other step), as rapid reporting can stop transfers.

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.
