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

wtf 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

wtf

Rewrite your previous message so a tired non-expert understands it on the first read. Explain the same content, do not answer a new question and do not add new work.

Rules (ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English):

  • One idea per sentence. Maximum 20 words per sentence. Active voice, present tense.
  • One word, one meaning. Reuse the same word for the same thing; never swap in a synonym.
  • Replace every jargon term with plain words. If a term must stay (a filename, a flag, an API name), define it once in four words or less.
  • Lead with the answer or the action. Cut hedging, background, and anything the user already knows.
  • Maximum 5 lines total: short prose or a short bullet list. No headers, no tables, no code unless the original point is code.

If the previous message was already plain, say so in one line instead of padding it out. If the confusion is about what to do next, end with one line naming the next action.

Changes

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.
