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

business-analyst 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 2d 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.

Business Analyst

Overview

This skill covers the structured practice of business analysis—translating business problems into clear requirements, mapping current and future-state processes, identifying gaps, managing stakeholder alignment, and producing the documentation (BRDs, use cases, process maps) that enables successful project delivery. It bridges the gap between business needs and technical or operational solutions.

When to Use

  • You need to document what a system or process must do (requirements gathering)
  • You're mapping a current business process to find inefficiencies
  • You need to perform a gap analysis between current and desired state
  • You're building a Business Requirements Document (BRD)
  • You need to identify and manage project stakeholders
  • Writing use cases or functional specifications

When NOT to Use

  • Writing user stories and sprint backlog items (use product-manager skill)
  • Conducting qualitative UX research (use ux-researcher skill)
  • Technical architecture or system design
  • Financial modeling or ROI calculations (use a finance skill)
  • Project scheduling and resource planning (use a PM tool)

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.
