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

ideal-customer-profile 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.

  • Community involvement and peer influence

Jobs to Be Done (JTBD)

What are they trying to accomplish?

  • Secondary jobs that support the primary job
  • Emotional jobs (how they want to feel)
  • Social jobs (status and perception)
  • Jobs they avoid or want to eliminate
  • Frequency and importance of each job
  • Success metrics for completing job

Needs and Pain Points

What problems does your product solve?

  • Specific pain points they experience
  • Current workarounds and limitations
  • Impact on productivity or outcomes
  • Cost or time burden of the problem
  • Emotional frustration levels
  • Barriers to solving the problem

How It Works

Step 1: Gather Customer Data

Collect research about actual and potential customers:

  • Product-market fit survey responses

  • Trial or freemium user behavior data
  • Customer feedback and support tickets
  • Churn analysis and customer lifecycle data
  • Win/loss analysis from sales
  • Competitor customer analysis

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.
