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

pela-en-jp 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 11d 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 — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Translation tuning: English → Japanese

Invoked as /pela:en-jp [tone] [script]. Both args are optional and order-independent.

  • tone: one of neutral (default), friendly, formal, casual
  • script: one of default (default), kanaonly, kanjionly, romaji

Parse args for these two values (case-insensitive, any order, either or both omitted). If a token doesn't match either list, ignore it rather than erroring — treat unmatched input as ordinary user context to consider alongside the translation.

Naturalness

  • Prefer a natural equivalent over a literal transliteration. A short greeting or filler word transliterated straight into katakana usually reads as foreign or lazy to a native speaker, even when it isn't technically wrong.
  • When the source is casual or spoken, match register with equally casual native phrasing rather than a textbook-formal one.
  • Loanwords already naturalized into the target language (brand names, established katakana vocabulary) are fine to keep as loanwords. The rule is about avoiding gratuitous transliteration of ordinary words that already have a native equivalent, not banning loanwords outright.

Tone

  • neutral: Balanced, unmarked register — neither noticeably formal nor noticeably casual.
  • friendly: Warm, approachable phrasing. Contractions and casual connectors are fine where natural.
  • formal: Polite, professional register (keigo-appropriate where relevant). Avoid casual connectors and slang.
  • casual: Relaxed, conversational register, the way you'd address someone you know well.

Apply whichever tone was parsed from args (default neutral) to the translation.

Script

Apply only if a script arg was parsed; otherwise use standard mixed orthography.

  • kanaonly: Render all target text in kana only — no kanji. Prefer hiragana for native vocabulary and grammar; katakana only for genuine loanwords.
  • kanjionly: Use standard mixed kanji/kana orthography the way a fluent native speaker would — do not artificially avoid kanji. (Functionally the same as the default; useful when the caller wants to be explicit.)
  • romaji: Transliterate the target text into the Latin alphabet using a standard romanization system. Name the system (e.g. Hepburn) if more than one is plausible for the content.

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.
