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

user-research 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 8d 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.

Origin

Interview Guide Structure

  1. Warm-up (5 min): Build rapport, explain the session
  2. Context (10 min): Understand their current workflow
  3. Deep dive (20 min): Explore the specific topic
  4. Reaction (10 min): Show concepts or prototypes
  5. Wrap-up (5 min): Anything we missed? Thank them.

Analysis Framework

  • Affinity mapping: Group observations into themes
  • Impact/effort matrix: Prioritize findings
  • Journey mapping: Visualize the user experience over time
  • Jobs to be done: Understand what users are hiring your product to do

Deliverables

  • Research plan (objectives, methods, timeline, participants)
  • Interview guide (questions, probes, activities)
  • Synthesis report (themes, insights, recommendations)
  • Highlight reel (key quotes and observations)

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.
