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

headlines 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 20d 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 — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Headlines

Generate headlines, article titles, social posts, and email subject lines from a brief or draft. Four phases: find the charge, generate volume across named moves, tighten survivors, output per format. Core rule: volume over polish -- breadth beats optimization because word-level features predict winners weakly.

Phase 1: FIND THE CHARGE

Identify the single most compelling tension or stake in the material.

  1. Read the brief, draft, or topic statement in full.
  2. List every tension candidate: surprise, reversal, cost, conflict, a number that changes the picture, a stake the reader holds.
  3. Pick ONE -- the charge. Write it as one sentence naming who is affected and what is at stake.
  4. Test: would a reader who saw only this sentence want the rest? A topic label ("Kubernetes networking") fails; a live tension ("DNS resolved yesterday, fails today, nothing changed") passes.

Gate: Charge is one sentence, names a specific tension, is true to source. A weak charge produces 20 weak headlines.

Phase 2: GENERATE VOLUME

Produce 15-25 candidate headlines spread across these ten named moves. Write fast; judge later.

The Ten Headline Moves

Move Reflex Example
Curiosity gap Opens a question only reading can close "The One-Line Nginx Default That Took Our API Down"
Specificity Carries the concrete detail into the headline "CoreDNS Returns NXDOMAIN for Internal Services After Upgrading to 1.31"
Stakes Names what the reader loses or gains "Your Postgres Backups May Be Silently Unrestorable"
Contrast Two true things that should not coexist "Local Build Passes, Cloudflare Deploy Fails -- Same Commit"
Question Asks what the reader already wonders "Is Your Standup Meeting Just a Status Email With Legs?"
How-to Promises a capability, named precisely "How to Cut Go CLI Startup From 400ms to 40ms"
Number Count or measurement as the spine "Three Config Lines That Halved Our CI Bill"
Voice-of-reader Phrased in the reader's own words "I Rotated the API Key and Production Still Worked. That's the Problem."
News peg Anchored to a current event "What the AWS Outage Reveals About Your Single-Region Bet"
Negative space Leads with what is absent or refused "The Test Suite Had No Test for the Thing That Broke"

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.
