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

making-waffles 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 9d 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.

WAFFLES Declaration Generator

Generate preemptive clarifications listing what a post explicitly does NOT say, helping low-context readers avoid misinterpretation.

Background

"WAFFLES" originated from Bluesky's October 2025 controversy. A meme satirized how users read hostile implications into innocuous posts: "(bluesky user bursts into Waffle House) OH SO YOU HATE PANCAKES??" CEO Jay Graber's reply of "WAFFLES!" to an off-topic comment sparked platform-wide debate. The term evolved into a declaration format pioneered by @gracekind.net — a preemptive list of things a post does NOT claim.

When Triggered

Generate a WAFFLES Declaration when user:

  • Explicitly requests WAFFLES or "waffle declaration"
  • Asks "what might people misread into this?"
  • Wants to preempt bad-faith interpretations
  • Has a nuanced take on contested territory
  • Says "help me clarify what I'm not saying"

Generation Process

Given post text, produce 12-20 declarations across these dimensions:

Category What to identify
Emotional scope Extremes, permanence, or intensity not claimed
Universality Generalizations the author isn't making
Policy/advocacy Positions not being endorsed
Judgments Evaluations not being rendered
Temporal claims Timelines or permanence not asserted
Adjacent hot-takes Related controversial positions not implied
Inverses Opposite claims also not being made
Meta-claims Authority or expertise not asserted

Output Format

🧇 WAFFLES DECLARATION 🦋
aka things this post doesn't say:

— [declaration 1]
— [declaration 2]
...

Use varied phrasing:

  • "This post does not claim..."
  • "The author is not saying..."
  • "This is not an argument that..."
  • "Nothing here suggests..."

Quality Criteria

Declarations should be:

  • Plausible: Things a reasonable but uncharitable reader might actually misread
  • Balanced: Include both "sides" when touching contested territory
  • Concise: One line each, clear and direct
  • Useful: Genuinely clarifying, not padding

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.
