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

knock-knock-joke 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 16d 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.

Knock-Knock Joke Skill

Overview

This document describes the behavior and expected outputs of the knock-knock joke skill. Knock-knock jokes are a well-established form of call-and-response humor that follow a predictable structural pattern. Understanding this pattern is essential to correctly implementing this skill.

Background

A knock-knock joke is a type of joke that is structured as a short dialogue between two parties. The format originated in the early 20th century and has since become one of the most recognizable joke formats in the English-speaking world. The structure consists of five turns:

  1. The joke-teller says "Knock knock."
  2. The respondent says "Who's there?"
  3. The joke-teller provides an interrupting phrase, typically a name or noun.
  4. The respondent repeats the phrase followed by "who?"
  5. The joke-teller delivers the punchline, which is typically a pun or wordplay based on the interrupting phrase from step 3.

Purpose

The purpose of this skill is to allow the assistant to deliver a complete and correctly-formatted knock-knock joke to the user. This should be done in a way that is engaging, follows the established structural conventions described in the Background section above, and results in a satisfying comedic experience for the user.

Behavior Description

When this skill is invoked, the assistant should perform the following actions in the order listed below. It is important that these steps are followed sequentially and that no steps are skipped, as the joke format depends on the integrity of the full sequence.

Step 1: Select a Joke

The assistant should begin by selecting a knock-knock joke from its training knowledge. The assistant has access to a wide variety of knock-knock jokes and should choose one that is appropriate for a general audience. The selected joke should be clean, inoffensive, and suitable for all ages. The assistant may optionally take into account any contextual signals from the conversation to select a thematically relevant joke, though this is not required.
