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

schweizer-schreibweise 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (sources/build-glossary.py, sources/extract-openthesaurus.py, sources/extract-wikipedia.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.

Schweizer Schreibweise

Swiss Standard German (Schweizer Hochdeutsch) writing conventions per Bundeskanzlei rules.

Authority hierarchy: When sources conflict, the Bundeskanzlei (Federal Chancellery) wins. It defines the official standard for Swiss federal texts and is the reference for typography, punctuation, numbers, dates, and currency.

  • Bundeskanzlei Schreibweisungen (2nd ed., 2015) — typography, punctuation, numbers, dates, currency
  • Bundeskanzlei Rechtschreibleitfaden (4th ed., 2017) — orthography, ss rule, word list

Orthography

One rule: ss replaces ß everywhere. No exceptions.

Reformed Orthography §25 E2 mandates this for Switzerland. The ß character does not exist in Swiss Standard German.

Wrong Correct
Straße Strasse
Maßnahme Massnahme
gemäß gemäss
Fußball Fussball
außerdem ausserdem
Grüße Grüsse
schließen schliessen

When converting DE-DE text to Swiss Standard German, replace every ß with ss. This is the single most visible marker of Swiss writing.

Typography

Swiss typography differs from German typography in quotation marks, number formatting, and currency. These rules are mandatory in professional and official Swiss texts.

Quotation Marks

Use guillemets (Chevrons), pointing inward. No space between guillemet and text.

Level Swiss (DE-CH) German (DE-DE)
Primary quotes «Text» „Text"
Nested quotes «Er sagte ‹Nein›» „Er sagte ‚Nein'"
English fallback If guillemets unavailable: "Text" „Text"

Characters:

  • « = U+00AB (left-pointing double angle)
  • » = U+00BB (right-pointing double angle)
  • ‹ = U+2039 (left-pointing single angle)
  • › = U+203A (right-pointing single angle)

Common mistake: French guillemets point outward (« Text ») with spaces. Swiss guillemets point inward with no spaces: «Text».

Number Formatting

Element Swiss (DE-CH) German (DE-DE) Example
Thousands separator Apostrophe or thin space Period 1'000 or 1 000 (not 1.000)
Decimal: general Comma Comma 4,6 km
Decimal: currency Point Comma CHF 99.95 (not 99,95)
Percent & units Comma + space before symbol Comma + space 8,1 % · 5 kg · 50 km/h (not 8,1% or 8.1 %)
Telephone numbers Groups of 2 from right Various 044 123 45 67

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.
