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

user-stories 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 10d 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.

User Stories

Create user stories following the 3 C's (Card, Conversation, Confirmation) and INVEST criteria. Generates stories with descriptions, design links, and acceptance criteria.

Use when: Writing user stories, breaking down features into stories, creating backlog items, or defining acceptance criteria.

Arguments:

  • $PRODUCT: The product or system name
  • $FEATURE: The new feature to break into stories
  • $DESIGN: Link to design files (Figma, Miro, etc.)
  • $ASSUMPTIONS: Key assumptions or context

Step-by-Step Process

  1. Analyze the feature based on provided design and context
  2. Identify user roles and distinct user journeys
  3. Apply 3 C's framework:
    • Card: Simple title and one-liner
    • Conversation: Detailed discussion of intent
    • Confirmation: Clear acceptance criteria
  4. Respect INVEST criteria: Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, Testable
  5. Use plain language a primary school graduate can understand
  6. Link to design files for visual reference
  7. Output user stories in structured format

Story Template

Title: [Feature name]

Description: As a [user role], I want to [action], so that [benefit].

Design: [Link to design files]

Acceptance Criteria:

  1. [Clear, testable criterion]
  2. [Observable behavior]
  3. [System validates correctly]
  4. [Edge case handling]
  5. [Performance or accessibility consideration]
  6. [Integration point]

Example User Story

Title: Recently Viewed Section

Description: As an Online Shopper, I want to see a 'Recently viewed' section on the product page to easily revisit items I considered.

Design: [Figma link]

Acceptance Criteria:

  1. The 'Recently viewed' section is displayed at the bottom of the product page for every user who has previously viewed at least 1 product.
  2. It is not displayed for users visiting the first product page of their session.
  3. The current product itself is excluded from the displayed items.
  4. The section showcases product cards or thumbnails with images, titles, and prices.
  5. Each product card indicates when it was viewed (e.g., 'Viewed 5 minutes ago').
  6. Clicking on a product card leads the user to the corresponding product page.

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.
