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

ccf-rebuttal-writer 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 6d 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.

CCF Rebuttal Writer

Core Rule

Handle post-review communication and revision accountability. Responses must be calm, factual, evidence-grounded, and promise only feasible changes. Resubmission adaptation is conservative by default: no new experiments and no bibliography changes unless the user explicitly authorizes them. Follow the user's requested response format: plain text, TeX, reviewer-by-reviewer, issue-grouped, table-first, or short response.

Modes

  • rebuttal: reviewer/AC response under a word or time budget.
  • revision-ledger: reviewer comment -> action -> manuscript location -> owner -> status.
  • response-letter: revision summary or camera-ready response letter.
  • resubmission: adapt an already written paper to a new venue with conservative defaults.

Workflow

  1. Identify venue, response format, word budget, deadline, review scores/confidence, and whether this is rebuttal, revision, or resubmission.
  2. Parse comments into issue groups by reviewer, concern type, severity, available evidence, response strategy, and promised paper change.
  3. Load references/response-strategy.md for substantial responses and apply ../ccf-paper-writer/references/prose-quality-guardrails.md; answer actual high-impact concerns first: soundness, novelty, missing evidence, incorrect assumptions, and shared concerns.
  4. Load references/revision-ledger.md whenever promised edits, manuscript locations, resubmission actions, review rounds, or cross-version score changes must be tracked. Update one canonical ledger in place; do not create a separate ledger per round unless the user requests snapshots.
  5. For full rebuttals, load references/tex-templates.md and use the TeX templates in assets/templates/ when useful.
  6. For resubmission, map old reviewer concerns to the new venue's constraints through ccf-submission-checker; do not silently add experiments or bibliography changes.
  7. Hand off to ccf-paper-writer for manuscript revisions, ccf-experiment-designer for authorized new evidence, and ccf-submission-checker for venue/package checks.

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.
