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

nous-branding 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/generate-with-ref.py, scripts/postprocess.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 247 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Nous Branding

Generate images and brand-consistent visual content inspired by Nous Research ("The AI accelerator company").

When not to use

  • Non-Nous design work — this skill encodes one specific brand system; do not apply its palette, textures, mascot, or compliance rules to unrelated brands or generic design requests.
  • Official brand representation — the Nous Girl mascot is not a substitute for the logo; use the Nous Research wordmark/symbol for official brand use.

Reference Images

This skill ships reference images in assets/ that can be used as visual anchors for img2img, style transfer, image variation, or prompt construction:

File Description Usage

Three-quarter profile facing left, white headband (primary badge variant). 51% dark / 47% light, pure b&w with no gray. Primary mascot reference — the single most authentic brand image
assets/nous-girl-official-badge.png Official badge portrait from the brand booklet (5760×7454). Shows the Nous Girl in her canonical form: white headband, three-quarter profile, neutral attentive expression, stark black/white manga style. Use when the badge/primary variant is needed
