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

ig-story 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

IG Story -- Plan engaging Instagram Story sequences

Key references:

  • references/format-specs.md -- dimensions, duration limits, safe zones
  • references/content-rules.md -- brand voice, banned topics, caption rules
  • references/story-strategy.md -- story arc patterns, frequency targets, sticker usage

Phase 1: Context

  1. Ask the user for the story goal (one of: educate, engage, sell, entertain, build trust).
  2. Confirm the topic or product to feature.
  3. If a specific date or campaign is mentioned, note any calendar constraints.
  4. Load all key reference files listed above before proceeding.

Phase 2: Story Type Selection

Select one primary story type based on the goal:

Goal Story Type Characteristics
Educate Educational Tip sequence, "Wusstest du...?" opener, text-heavy slides
Engage Poll / Quiz Interactive stickers, opinion-based, low friction
Sell Product Spotlight Demo or testimonial, swipe-up / link sticker, clear CTA
Entertain Behind-the-Scenes Raw footage feel, casual voice, day-in-the-life
Build Trust Social Proof Screenshots, results, user messages (anonymized)

Document the selected type and reasoning.

Phase 3: Slide Sequence

Build the sequence with a maximum of 5 slides. Each slide must specify:

  1. Slide number (1-5)
  2. Visual description -- what the viewer sees (photo, video clip, graphic)
  3. Text overlay -- large text, high contrast, max 2 lines per slide
  4. Duration -- 5s for static, up to 15s for video
  5. Transition note -- how it connects to the next slide

Slide Sequence Rules

  • Slide 1 is the hook. It must stop the tap-through. Use a bold statement or question.
  • Middle slides deliver the payload (info, proof, entertainment).
  • Final slide contains the CTA or interactive element.
  • Text overlays: minimum 24pt equivalent, always within safe zone (see format-specs.md).
  • High contrast required: white text on dark overlay, or dark text on light overlay.

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.
