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

blog-post 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 1mo 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.

Blog Post

Overview

This skill helps you write compelling, well-structured blog posts that engage readers from the opening hook to the final call to action. It covers SEO fundamentals, headline formulas, tone matching to your brand voice, and the right word count for your goal—whether you're publishing a punchy 800-word opinion piece or a comprehensive 2,000-word tutorial. The output is publication-ready content, not a rough draft.

When to Use

  • Writing how-to tutorials and step-by-step guides
  • Drafting opinion or thought-leadership articles
  • Creating listicles and roundup posts
  • Producing SEO-targeted content around a keyword
  • Repurposing research or notes into readable web content
  • Writing content marketing pieces that drive traffic

When NOT to Use

  • Academic or peer-reviewed papers (use academic-essay skill instead)
  • News articles requiring verified, real-time information
  • Press releases (distinct format and distribution requirements)
  • Social media posts (use social-media skill instead)
  • Technical documentation (use technical-writer skill instead)

Quick Reference

Task Approach
Hook Start with a stat, question, or bold claim in the first 2 sentences
Headline Use formulas: "How to X", "N Ways to Y", "Why Z"
Word count Tutorial: 1,200–2,000 words; Opinion: 800–1,200 words; Listicle: 1,000–1,500 words
SEO Include primary keyword in title, first paragraph, one H2, and meta description
Paragraphs Keep to 3–4 sentences max for web readability
CTA One clear call-to-action at the end; optionally one mid-post
Subheadings Every 200–300 words to break up the wall of text

Instructions

  1. Identify the post type and goal. Determine whether this is a tutorial, opinion, listicle, or case study. Clarify the target audience (beginner vs. expert), the primary keyword if SEO matters, and the desired word count range.

  2. Craft the headline first. Use a proven formula:

    • How-to: "How to [Achieve Result] in [Timeframe/Steps]"
    • Listicle: "[Number] [Adjective] Ways to [Achieve Goal]"
    • Opinion: "Why [Counterintuitive Claim] Is Actually [Positive Outcome]"
    • Question: "Is [Common Belief] Really [Worth It/True]?"

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.
