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

building-a-promotion-case 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.

Building a Promotion Case

Scope

Covers

  • Turning “I want a promotion” into a concrete promotion thesis tied to company priorities
  • Mapping your work to the next-level expectations (career ladder / competency model)
  • Building an evidence-backed impact log (metrics + artifacts + stakeholder proof)
  • Creating a submission-ready promotion doc (one-pager + appendix) that makes the decision easy
  • Aligning with your manager using a partnership loop (a.k.a. “Magic Loop”) and planning the next 4–12 weeks
  • Building a lightweight sponsor/visibility plan (political capital without being sleazy)

When to use

  • “Help me write a promotion packet / promotion doc.”
  • “I need a promotion case that maps to our career ladder.”
  • “I want to get promoted this cycle—what should I do and how do I prove it?”
  • “My manager says ‘keep doing what you’re doing’—I need crisp promotion criteria and a plan.”
  • “I want to level up, but I’m not sure what evidence counts.”

When NOT to use

  • You need compensation negotiation tactics for a new offer — use negotiating-offers (this pack is about internal promotion readiness, not external offers)
  • You are exploring a career pivot or role change — use career-transitions (this pack assumes you want to advance in your current ladder, not switch ladders)
  • You want to build a mentor/sponsor network from scratch — use finding-mentors-sponsors (this pack includes a sponsor map for an active promo push, but not the full relationship-building workflow)
  • You need general manager-relationship tactics without a promotion goal — use managing-up
  • You are in an HR/performance escalation (PIP, investigation, termination risk) — involve HR/manager process first
  • You don’t want to involve your manager at all (promotion decisions are manager- and org-mediated; this pack assumes partnership)
  • You only need a resume/LinkedIn rewrite (use a resume-focused workflow instead)

Inputs

Minimum required

  • Your role + scope today (team, product area, what you own)
  • Target level/role and timing (desired promo cycle/date)
  • Your company’s leveling rubric / ladder (or a description of expectations if you can’t share the doc)
  • 3–8 work examples from the last 6–12 months (projects, launches, decisions, cross-functional leadership)
  • Evidence signals (metrics, customer outcomes, reliability, revenue/cost, quality, speed, adoption)
  • Stakeholders involved (manager, partners, potential sponsors, promo committee style if known)

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.
