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

career-transitions 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Career Transitions

Scope

Covers

  • Clarifying what “progress” means to you (beyond compensation) and using it as a decision rule
  • Mapping your current situation into pushes (frictions) and pulls (attractions)
  • Defining a motivating “genie goal” (what you’d do if success were guaranteed) and backcasting into near-term moves
  • Turning vague ideas into 2–4 concrete target archetypes (roles/companies/paths) with clear fit filters
  • Building an opportunity pipeline (network map + weekly outreach plan) and ready-to-send outreach scripts
  • Creating a realistic 4–12 week experiment plan to de-risk the transition

When to use

  • “I want to change careers / pivot roles but I’m not sure to what.”
  • “Help me evaluate two career paths and pick one.”
  • “I feel stuck; help me figure out what I actually want next and how to get there.”
  • “I want a structured plan for a career transition, including networking/outreach scripts.”

When NOT to use

  • You already have a target role at your current company and want to build a promotion case — use building-a-promotion-case
  • You have a concrete job offer and need negotiation tactics — use negotiating-offers
  • You want to build a mentor/sponsor network (not plan a transition) — use finding-mentors-sponsors
  • You want to validate a startup idea, not plan a career move — use startup-ideation
  • You need clinical mental health support for burnout/anxiety/depression (seek professional support; this skill can complement, not replace it)
  • You need legal advice (employment law, immigration/visa, contracts) or financial/tax planning
  • You only want a resume/LinkedIn rewrite with no decision/process work (use a resume-specific workflow instead)
  • You are in an urgent workplace investigation/HR escalation where legal/process guidance is required

Inputs

Minimum required

  • Your current role/situation (title, scope, industry) and what’s prompting change
  • Your constraints (location/remote, time, money/runway, family, visa, schedule)
  • Your timeline (when you need a decision; when you could start something new)
  • What you’re optimizing for (learning, autonomy, mission, stability, leadership, compensation, flexibility)
  • 2–6 candidate directions you’re considering (even if vague) OR what you explicitly want to avoid
  • Your current “assets” (skills, strengths, portfolio/work examples, network access)

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.
