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

coer-recon 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 12d 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 — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CoER Reconnaissance

Take a fuzzy domain interest and produce a structured landscape — the company tiers, the centers of excellence, the established players, and (most importantly) the emerging fringe talent — conforming to the CoER dashboard schema, then save it into the atlas.

What you produce

A single JSON object validating against schema/dashboard.schema.json, written to corpus/domains/<slug>.json. Every panel of the CoER template maps to a field; see procedure/METHOD.md for the field-by-field contract.

Procedure (the cascade)

Run procedure/madlib-prompts.md in order. It is a fuzzy cascade, not a strict pipeline — revisit earlier panels when a later step teaches you something new.

  1. Intake — resolve the raw interest into domain (name, industryContext, focusAreas, geographicFocus, timeHorizon, researchObjectives). Ask at most 2 clarifying questions, and only if domain or researchObjectives are genuinely underspecified.
  2. Step 1 — Paradigm Shifts: from → to, plus the talent signal each implies.
  3. Step 2 — Competencies & Skills: knowledge domains + concrete practitioner skills.
  4. Step 3 — Industry & Centers: companies (established / prime movers / disruptors), geo-located centers of excellence, and industry organizations. Cover academia, industry, and individual enthusiast/creator/community projects.
  5. Step 4 — Key Players: established contributors with a truncated background timeline.
  6. Step 5 — Other Players: the long tail (citations, OSS, YouTubers, podcast guests).
  7. Step 6 (most important) — Potential Hires: emerging fringe talent, ranked by Creative Enthusiasm · Grit · Precociousness.

Run the while-loops throughout — they are your standing sourcing directives, not a separate phase. While executing every step, perspicaciously source logos, links, names, and entities, and resolve each into an indexable → rankable → presentable record: a stable key, the evidence that lets it be ranked (source count, recency, traction, the Step-6 signals), and the hyperlinks/fields its panel renders. The loops are: collect links, collect logos, dedupe the typed common-skills list, and compile the Meta-Role-Description (roleResponsibilities).

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.
