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

interest-vs-commitment-redline 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.

兴趣 vs 承诺:红线原则

R — 原文 (Reading)

读一本书是兴趣,而经常运用书中学到的知识则是承担责任。兴趣是想开始一项业务,而承担责任是完成有限公司的注册文档。从周一到周五每天工作1小时是兴趣,而每周工作7天,只要有时间就工作则是承担责任。租一辆昂贵的轿车是兴趣,骑着自行车为经营系统而奔走则是承担责任。兴趣让你看上去富有,承担责任使你变得富有。

— MJ·德马科, 第28章

很多人一生都在逍遥地用第一挡行进,却在问自己为何是在这里?人人都对金钱感兴趣,不幸的是,仅对财富和财务安全"感兴趣"并没有什么用,他们依旧在用第一挡行驶。为了超越第一挡,你必须做出相应的努力和一系列正确选择,充分利用快车道的力量。在兴趣和承担责任之间,存在着本质的区别。

— MJ·德马科, 第28章

I — 方法论骨架 (Interpretation)

兴趣和承诺之间有一道不可跨越的红线。兴趣是消费行为——你读书、听课、调研、讨论,这些让你感觉自己在前进,实际上你只是在"输入"。承诺是生产行为——你注册公司、上线产品、签下第一个客户、承受第一次亏损,这些让你真正在市场中被检验。

红线原则的核心判断标准只有一条:你的行为是否产生了可被市场验证的输出? 如果你的努力无法被外部市场"投票"(买单或拒绝),你就在兴趣区;如果市场已经可以对你的输出说"是"或"不",你就在承诺区。

区分二者的具体标尺:

  1. 时间投入的性质:兴趣花时间在"准备准备",承诺花时间在"交付交付"。
  2. 对失败的承受:兴趣遇到困难退回学习状态,承诺遇到困难调整方案继续推进。
  3. 对外表达的方式:兴趣说"我想/我打算/我在研究",承诺说"我做了/我发布了/我签了"。

A1 — 书中的应用 (Past Application)

案例:德马科本人创业经历

德马科大学毕业后没有找工作,直接创业。家人认为他疯了,同龄人以为他妄想。他靠送比萨和开豪华轿车维生,住在狭窄公寓里,午餐晚餐吃廉价意大利面条。他放弃了晚上与朋友饮酒欢聚,连续数周每天工作12小时建立和完善系统。当他朋友沉迷于电子游戏赛车时,他在构建真实业务。

这就是红线行为:他做了别人不愿意做的事,承受了别人不愿意承受的社交压力和经济拮据。兴趣会让人在第一次失败后说"这行不通",承诺让他在失败100次后还在坚持。

案例:托马斯·爱迪生 vs 普通发明爱好者

德马科引用爱迪生的例子:如果仅凭兴趣,经历3次失败就放弃了;而承诺是直到失败100次之后还在坚持。爱迪生不是因为"对灯泡感兴趣"而发明了灯泡,而是因为他对"让世界通电"做出了承诺。

A2 — 触发场景 (Future Trigger) ★

典型触发场景:

  • 你发现自己连续几周/几个月在"学习"创业知识但没有任何对外交付
  • 你在和人交谈时说"我打算做……"但说不出具体的启动日期和第一个里程碑
  • 你遇到困难后的第一反应是再报一个课、再读一本书、再做一次调研
  • 你发现自己在美化"准备阶段",用"我在深入研究"来回避"我不敢开始"

语言信号:

  • "等我把这个课程学完就开始"
  • "等我找到完美的合伙人"
  • "等我存够钱"
  • "等我更有经验"

与相邻技能区分:

  • 与 v15(执行vs点子)的区别:红线原则判断的是"你此刻在兴趣区还是承诺区";执行vs点子回答的是"我的点子够不够好到可以行动"——前者是心态定位,后者是行动策略。
  • 与 v16(明智风险)的区别:红线原则推动你跨过"不敢行动"的门槛;明智风险帮你判断"跨过门槛后该冒哪些险、避哪些险"。

E — 可执行步骤 (Execution)

当技能被激活后,按以下步骤执行:

  1. 自检红线位置:写下过去30天你在该目标上花的时间,分类为"输入型时间"(读书/听课/调研/讨论)和"输出型时间"(生产/发布/销售/交付)。如果输入型占比超过80%,你就在兴趣区。

  2. 设定红线指标:为自己定义一个不可撤销的"红线日期"和"红线产出"——例如"下周五之前必须上线一个最小可用版本"或"本周结束前必须找到第一个付费客户"。这个指标必须可被外部验证。

  3. 移除安全网:红线原则要求你把自己置于"不得不做"的位置。公开承诺、向朋友宣布截止日期、投入不可退回的资源(如预付域名/服务器费用)。消除"我可以再准备一下"的后路。

  4. 执行最小交付:不要追求完美。承诺的第一个动作永远是"交付一个不完美但完整的东西"。一个简陋的网站、一个手写的方案、一个当面推销——市场反馈比任何书本都真实。

  5. 遭遇困难时用"调整"代替"退回":如果红线指标失败,不要退回学习模式。分析失败原因,调整方案,设定新的红线日期,继续输出。承诺的标志是:失败后下一个动作仍然是输出,不是输入。
