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

accent-dial 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/accent_dial.py, scripts/test_accent_dial.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.


name: accent-dial description: >- Pre-terminal accent stage: dial a controllable amount of the author's Serbian-L1 accent into an article by accepting a ranked fraction of EN→Serbian→EN round-trip translation edits. One cached round-trip per article (gemma4:31b-cloud), paragraphs aligned 1:1, mechanically gated (citations, numbers, locks, length), ranked by Serbian-ness (calques, then restructuring depth); --dial 0..1 applies the top fraction deterministically with a full edit log. Generative source, deterministic application: the run is not done until the applied paragraphs pass an entailment review. Triggers: accent dial, serbian accent, round-trip translation, dial the accent, more serbian, less serbian, translation laundering, L2 accent stage.

Accent Dial (pre-terminal stage)

The EN→SR→EN round-trip is the only measured source of the author's Serbian-L1 accent: the regular published articles carry ZERO calques and sit below the native exemplars on the L2 composite (paper-stash writing-voice/l2-markers.yaml, v1.2), while the gemma round-trip of Strategy Theatre measured +0.726 — and simultaneously produced the strongest Pangram move ever recorded on that article (0.708 → 0.150 fraction_ai, all 27 citations intact). But a whole-text round-trip is all-or-nothing: locked spans get paraphrased, quoted specimens drift from their blockquotes, and confident mistranslations ride along.

This stage makes the accent a dial instead. The round-trip is a CANDIDATE GENERATOR, not a transformation: every paragraph pair is gated mechanically, the survivors are ranked by how much Serbian they carry, and --dial p applies the best-ranked fraction. Application is deterministic and prefix-monotone (edits applied at a lower dial stay applied at every higher one), every candidate lands in the edit log with its gate verdict and score, and unapplied paragraphs stay byte-identical to the input.

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.
