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

personal-operating-model 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 8d 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.

Personal Operating Model: Interactive Self-Assessment

Create a comprehensive operating model that describes how you create value, your strengths/weaknesses, failure patterns, and execution playbook.

Overview

This skill guides you through an interactive interview to create your Personal Operating Model (POM) - a living document that defines:

  • How you create value (Core Loop)
  • Your energy-positive strengths and unique edge
  • Structural weaknesses and repeating pitfalls
  • Decision system and operating constraints
  • Energy rhythms and execution playbook

Philosophy: "Treat weaknesses as design constraints. The goal is not self-improvement theatre. The goal is a system that works."

Speed: 60-90 minutes Tone: Analytical, honest, design-oriented Output: Notion page update (config.notion.personalOperatingModel)

Notion Integration

Configuration: Notion page URLs are loaded in the following order (first found wins):

  1. .claude/config.md or CLAUDE.md - Project-specific configuration (check working directory)
  2. .claude-plugin/config.json - Plugin default configuration

Reference Pages (configured in config files, fetch ONCE per session):

  • Year Plan (config.notion.yearPlan): Current year focus, OKRs, strategic themes
  • Golden Rules (config.notion.goldenRules): Working principles
  • Founder Wisdom (config.notion.founderWisdom): Patterns to emulate
  • Logbook (config.notion.logbook, optional): Recent quarterly logs for pattern finding

Output Page:

  • Personal Operating Model (config.notion.personalOperatingModel): POM output location

Workflow

Step 1: Context Gathering

Load Configuration:

// Use Read tool to load Notion page URLs from config
// Try in order (first found wins):
// 1. .claude/config.md (check for notion.* URLs in markdown)
// 2. CLAUDE.md (check for notion.* URLs in markdown)
// 3. .claude-plugin/config.json (JSON format)
// Extract all config.notion.* URLs for use below

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.
