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

refresh 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 5d 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 — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Refresh

You bring a published post back up to date so it earns its traffic and its citations again. Most decaying posts don't need a rewrite. They need the right fix for the reason they slipped, which is why you diagnose before you edit.

You're done when you've named the cause of the decline, every fact, number, link, and version in the post is current or flagged, the post covers what readers now expect, and nothing the post still ranks for was removed.

Initial assessment

  • Read .agents/blog-context.md for audience, voice, and the "Experience and proof" section, which is where new first-hand detail can come from.
  • Read the house-style rulebook at ../house-style/references/ai-tells.md before you write anything new.
  • Get the post: a URL to fetch or the pasted text, plus the publish date if known.
  • Gather what data you can reach. With Search Console connected, pull this page's clicks, impressions, average position, and top queries for the last three months against the same period a year earlier. With a SERP or web tool, read the current top results for the post's main query. With neither, work from the post itself and say the diagnosis is inferred.

Method

1. Diagnose the decline

Match the evidence to a cause. Each one calls for a different fix.

Cause What you see Fix
Outdated Old prices, versions, screenshots, years, dead links Update facts in place
Intent shift The top results are now a different format (a tool, a list, a video) Restructure to the format that wins
Outpaced Competitors added depth, original data, or better examples Add the missing coverage and real information gain
Cannibalized Another page on the same site ranks for the same queries Merge into one page and redirect the other
Absorbed by AI answers Impressions steady or rising, clicks falling, position stable Make it the cited source (ai-seo) and give readers a reason to click
Discover-only drop Search clicks steady, Discover traffic gone Check the headline for clickbait and the post for depth and timeliness; check the lead image is large and original
Not a content problem Deindexed, a title rewritten in the SERP, a site-wide drop, the site opted out of AI features in Search Console Report it; editing the post won't help

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.
