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

talent-sourcing 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 11d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 301 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Talent Sourcing

Candidate discovery powered by Nimble Web Search Agents.

User request: $ARGUMENTS

Before running any commands, read references/nimble-playbook.md for Claude Code constraints (no shell state, no &/wait, sub-agent permissions, communication style).


Instructions

Step 0: Preflight

Follow the transport selection + standard preflight from references/nimble-playbook.md — pick CLI or MCP at session start, then run the standard preflight calls (date calc, today, profile, memory index) in parallel.

Also simultaneously:

  • mkdir -p ~/.nimble/memory/{reports,talent-sourcing}

From the results:

  • CLI missing or API key unset → read references/profile-and-onboarding.md, stop
  • Tag all nimble CLI calls: nimble --client-source nimble-agent-skills <subcommand>. MCP requests are attributed at the transport level — see references/nimble-playbook.md.
  • Profile exists → note industry keywords if any; proceed to Step 1
  • No profile → fine, talent-sourcing doesn't require onboarding; proceed to Step 1

Step 1: Parse Request & Confirm Search Parameters

Parse $ARGUMENTS for:

  • Role — job title or function (e.g. "Senior React Engineer", "Head of Sales")
  • Location — city, metro, region, or remote (e.g. "New York City", "remote US")
  • Skills / requirements — specific technologies, years of experience, domain expertise
  • Seniority — junior, mid, senior, staff, director, VP, C-level
  • Source preference — specific platforms (LinkedIn, GitHub, Indeed, etc.) or "all"

If a full job description was pasted, extract the above fields from it.

If role is missing or ambiguous, ask with AskUserQuestion:

"What role are you hiring for, and where? (e.g. 'Senior ML Engineer, remote US' or paste a job description)"

Once parameters are clear, confirm with the user using AskUserQuestion:

"Searching for: [Role] | Location: [Location] | Key skills: [Skills] | Seniority: [Seniority]

Platforms to search: LinkedIn, Indeed, GitHub (for technical roles), AngelList / Wellfound, and professional communities.

  • Start search
  • Adjust parameters first"

Changes

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.
