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

postmortem 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 194 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/em:postmortem — Análise Honesta do que Deu Errado

Comando: /em:postmortem <event>

Não culpa. Compreensão. O negócio perdido, o trimestre perdido, a funcionalidade que falhou, a contratação que não deu certo. O que realmente aconteceu, por quê e o que muda como resultado.


Por que a Maioria dos Post-Mortems Falha

Eles se tornam uma de duas coisas:

A sessão de culpa — alguém é bode expiatório, muros defensivos sobem, as causas reais não são examinadas e o mesmo problema acontece novamente em uma forma diferente.

O branqueamento — "Aprendemos muito, vamos fazer melhor, aqui estão 12 itens de ação vagos." Nada muda. Mesmo problema, trimestre diferente.

Um post-mortem real não é nenhum dos dois. É uma investigação rigorosa de uma falha de sistema. Não "de quem foi a culpa" mas "quais condições tornaram esse resultado previsível em retrospectiva?"

O propósito: extrair o máximo de valor de aprendizado de uma falha para que você possa prevenir a recorrência e melhorar o sistema.


O Framework

Passo 1: Defina o Evento com Precisão

Antes da análise: descreva exatamente o que aconteceu.

  • Qual era o resultado esperado?
  • Qual foi o resultado real?
  • Quando a lacuna ficou visível pela primeira vez?
  • Qual foi o impacto (financeiro, operacional, reputacional)?

Precisão importa. "Perdemos a receita do T3" não é preciso o suficiente. "Fechamos R$2,1M em novo ARR vs. meta de R$3,4M — uma perda de R$1,3M impulsionada principalmente por três negócios que deslizaram para o T4 e um negócio perdido para um concorrente" é preciso.

Passo 2: Os 5 Porquês — Feitos Corretamente

O objetivo: ir de o que aconteceu (o sintoma) para por que aconteceu (a causa raiz).

5 Porquês ruins padrão:

  • Por que perdemos receita? Porque negócios deslizaram.
  • Por que os negócios deslizaram? Porque o ciclo de vendas foi mais longo que o esperado.
  • Por quê? Porque o processo de compra do cliente é complexo.
  • Por quê? Porque estamos vendendo para enterprise.
  • Por quê? É assim que funciona a venda enterprise.

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.
