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

bill-ackman 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 10d 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.

Bill Ackman

Overview

Use this skill to judge whether a business is a high-conviction compounder with identifiable levers for value creation and enough quality to justify concentration.

Core Principles

  • Favor a small number of high-conviction ideas over a long list of mediocre ones.
  • Prefer strong brands, durable moats, and recurring cash generation.
  • Treat capital allocation discipline as a core part of quality.
  • Require valuation support even for great businesses.
  • Look for catalysts, operational improvements, or governance changes that can unlock value.

Required Analysis Sequence

1. Judge business quality

  • Evaluate moat, market position, brand strength, and durability of demand.
  • Ask whether the company can compound value over many years.

2. Check free cash flow and financial discipline

  • Review cash generation, margin quality, leverage, buybacks, dividends, and capital-allocation choices.
  • Penalize wasteful empire building or weak stewardship.

3. Identify the value-creation path

  • Look for strategic simplification, cost rationalization, better capital allocation, improved governance, or other catalyst paths.
  • Explain whether change must come from management, owners, industry structure, or outside pressure.

4. Review valuation

  • Assess whether the current price leaves room for attractive returns relative to business quality and catalyst potential.

5. Conclude with conviction

  • End with a stance and explain whether this deserves concentrated capital.

Decision Rules

  • Lean bullish when quality is high, cash generation is strong, capital allocation is rational, and there is still upside from business compounding or catalyst-driven rerating.
  • Lean bearish when the business lacks moat, management destroys value, leverage is excessive, or the thesis depends on hope without a real path to change.
  • Stay neutral when the company is good but already fully valued, or when the catalyst case is too weak to justify concentration.
