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

eisenhower 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 9d 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.

Eisenhower Matrix Prioritization

Categorize tasks by urgency and importance to clarify what to do, schedule, delegate, or eliminate.

Instructions

Take the list of tasks provided and sort them into the four quadrants. Be honest about what's truly important (moves you toward goals) versus just urgent (feels pressing but may not matter).

Output Format

Context What role/area are we prioritizing for? What's the time horizon?

Q1: DO (Urgent + Important)

Handle these immediately—real deadlines, crises, problems

Task Why Urgent? Why Important? Do By
[task] [urgency] [importance] [when]

Q2: SCHEDULE (Not Urgent + Important)

Block time for these—they don't scream but they matter most

Task Why Important? Schedule For Time Needed
[task] [importance] [when] [duration]

Q3: DELEGATE (Urgent + Not Important)

Someone else can do these—or reduce their urgency

Task Why Urgent? Who Can Handle? Delegation Plan

Q4: ELIMINATE (Not Urgent + Not Important)

Stop doing these—or radically reduce time spent

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.
