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

unslop 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 5d 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.

Unslop

Edit text to remove AI patterns and add human voice.

Process

  1. Scan for the patterns below.
  2. Rewrite. Preserve meaning, match the intended tone.
  3. Add soul.
  4. Self-audit: "what makes this obviously AI generated?" Fix what is left.

Add soul

Removing patterns is half the job. Sterile, voiceless writing is just as obvious.

  • Have opinions. React to facts instead of neutrally listing pros and cons.
  • Vary rhythm. Short sentences. Then longer ones that take their time.
  • Acknowledge complexity. "Impressive but also kind of unsettling" beats "impressive".
  • Use "I" when it fits. First person is not unprofessional.
  • Let some mess in. Perfect structure looks machine made.
  • Be specific. Not "this is concerning" but "there is something unsettling about agents churning away at 3am".

Content

  1. Puffery. "pivotal moment", "testament to", "evolving landscape", "setting the stage for", "indelible mark". Cut it and state what happened.
  2. Name-dropping. Listing outlets without context. Pick one, say what it said.
  3. Superficial -ing phrases. "highlighting...", "ensuring...", "reflecting...", "showcasing...", "fostering...". Delete, or expand with a real source.
  4. Promotional language. "nestled", "vibrant", "breathtaking", "groundbreaking", "renowned", "must-visit". Describe neutrally.
  5. Vague attributions. "Experts believe", "Industry reports suggest", "Some critics argue". Name the source or delete the claim.
  6. Formulaic challenges. "Despite challenges... continues to thrive." Replace with specific facts.

Language

  1. AI vocabulary. Additionally, crucial, delve, enduring, enhance, fostering, garner, interplay, intricate, landscape (abstract), pivotal, showcase, tapestry (abstract), testament, underscore, vibrant. Use plain words.
  2. Fancy ways to say "is". "serves as", "stands as", "boasts", "features". Say "is" or "has".
  3. "Not just X, but Y." State the point directly.
  4. Rule of three. Forcing ideas into groups of three. Use the natural number.
  5. Synonym cycling. Protagonist, main character, central figure, and hero in one paragraph. Pick one and repeat it.
  6. False ranges. "from X to Y" where X and Y are not on a meaningful scale. List the topics directly.

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.
