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

custom-gpt-packaging 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.

Custom GPT Packaging for the GPT Store

Complete reference for building, configuring, publishing, and maintaining Custom GPTs — OpenAI's zero-install distribution format for conversational AI agents.


What Is a Custom GPT?

A Custom GPT is a configured ChatGPT instance that combines four building blocks into a single shareable agent:

Building Block What It Does Limit
System Instructions Defines personality, behavior, process, and boundaries ~8,000 characters recommended
Knowledge Files Documents searched via RAG to ground responses in your data 20 files, 512 MB each
GPT Actions OpenAPI schemas that let the GPT call external APIs Multiple actions per GPT
Built-in Capabilities Code Interpreter, DALL-E image generation, web browsing Toggle on/off per GPT

Key mental model: A Custom GPT is ChatGPT with a preset personality, private knowledge, and optional API superpowers. Users click "Start Chat" and get a specialized agent instantly — zero installation, zero configuration, zero technical knowledge required.


When to Build a Custom GPT

Build a Custom GPT when:

  • Your audience is non-technical — They will never run a terminal command or install a package. They open ChatGPT and talk.
  • The tool is conversational — The primary interface is back-and-forth dialogue, not a dashboard or CLI.
  • Maximum reach matters — ChatGPT has 200M+ weekly active users. The GPT Store is the largest AI agent marketplace.
  • Zero friction is critical — No install, no signup (beyond existing ChatGPT account), no onboarding. Click and use.
  • Local execution is not required — Everything runs in OpenAI's cloud. The user's device is just a chat window.

Do NOT build a Custom GPT when:

  • You need persistent local state or file system access
  • The agent must run offline
  • Data privacy requirements prohibit sending data to OpenAI
  • You need sub-second latency for tool calls
  • The workflow is better served by a structured UI than a conversation

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.
