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

stale-content-detector 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.

Stale Content Detector

Version: 1.0.0 Updated: 2026-05-24 Category: audit Status: stable Requires: Respira for WordPress plugin 7.1+ + MCP server


Description

Find pages and posts that haven't been updated in a long time, categorize them as fresh / aging / stale / archive-candidate, and suggest action per item: refresh, redirect, archive, or leave alone. Stale content is an SEO drag and a credibility tax — if your "2023 trends" article still ranks but nobody's touched it since 2023, you're losing trust the day a reader notices the date.

This skill is intentionally focused. It's not a content audit (use SEO & AEO Amplifier for that). It's the "what's old" question, answered fast.


What it categorizes

Bucket Age since last update Suggested action
Fresh < 6 months leave alone
Aging 6–12 months review the headline + opening paragraph; if still accurate, leave; if outdated, refresh the date
Stale 12–24 months refresh the content meaningfully (new data, new examples), update the modified date
Archive-candidate 24+ months and low traffic / orphan archive, redirect, or 410 — depends on if anything links to it

Plus an "evergreen" override: pages tagged as evergreen (/about/, /contact/, /pricing/, /privacy/) skip the staleness check entirely.


When to Use

  • Quarterly content review
  • Migrating a site and trying to decide what to bring vs leave behind
  • After a content team change — find the inherited backlog of old work
  • Before publishing the next batch of new content (so the old stuff doesn't drag the rankings of the new stuff)
  • After a Google update that emphasizes "freshness" signals

Trigger Phrases

  • "find old content"
  • "what's stale"
  • "what needs refreshing"
  • "audit my content age"
  • "find content to update"
  • "stale content scan"
  • "what should i archive"

Execution Workflow

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.
