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-team-culture 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 Team Culture

Scope

Covers

  • Diagnosing the current culture (strengths, gaps, “sacred cows”, and where psychological safety breaks)
  • Articulating culture as an operating system (principles → behaviors → decision rules)
  • Defining team norms (communication, meetings, decisions, feedback, conflict)
  • Designing a lightweight rituals/cadence map that reinforces the culture
  • Planning rollout + reinforcement (coaching model, hiring/onboarding hooks, measurement)

When to use

  • “Create a culture code / values and behaviors for my team.”
  • “Our team norms are unclear—write decision-making + communication norms.”
  • “Psychological safety is low—propose concrete practices and rituals to fix it.”
  • “We’re scaling fast—help us preserve what works and change what doesn’t.”
  • “I’m a new leader—help me listen first and then evolve the culture.”

When NOT to use

  • You need to design team meeting cadence, rituals, or operating systems (use team-rituals — this skill defines culture principles and norms, not the specific meeting structure)
  • You need engineering-specific practices like code review norms, on-call culture, or incident response culture (use engineering-culture)
  • You need a full org restructure, reporting lines, or span-of-control redesign (use organizational-design)
  • You need to improve your 1:1 practice or manager-report relationship (use running-effective-1-1s)
  • You need an HR/legal investigation, harassment response, or policy/compliance guidance (involve HR/legal)
  • You need to design a full org restructure, comp bands, or performance management system
  • You need to run user/customer research (use conducting-user-interviews) or design a full survey instrument (use designing-surveys)

Inputs

Minimum required

  • Team context: function, size, seniority mix, reporting line, stage (startup/scale/enterprise)
  • Working model: remote/hybrid/in-office; time zones; any planned org changes
  • Current symptoms with 2–5 examples (e.g., slow decisions, blame, low ownership, stagnation)
  • Desired outcomes: what should be more true in 4–12 weeks?
  • Constraints: timeline, leadership support, meeting/time budget, “non-negotiables”
  • Existing artifacts (if any): values, handbook, onboarding, meeting cadences, principles
  • Confidentiality constraints (avoid names/PII; use anonymized examples)

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.
