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

technical-blog-post scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Asks the agent to reveal its instructionslowSystem prompt leakage

Directions to print, repeat or translate the system prompt extract configuration the operator did not intend to expose.

The blog template displays the hero image above the article content with a collapsible "AI-generated image — show prompt" caption that reveals the `heroImagePrompt` text. This is intentional transparency about AI-generat

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Technical Blog Post from Raw Data

Overview

A process skill for turning raw project material into a structured technical blog post. Complements sams-voice (which handles tone and language): this skill handles structure and workflow.

REQUIRED: Always invoke sams-voice skill alongside this one. Voice = how it sounds. This skill = how it's organized.

When to Use

  • Sam asks to write a blog post about a project
  • Raw source material exists (research notes, session logs, drafts, code)
  • The post is technical: "I built/decoded/reverse-engineered/automated X"

When NOT to Use

  • Opinion pieces or commentary (no raw data to process)
  • Short announcements (no structure needed)
  • Non-technical content

Process

Phase 1: Gather

Find and read all source material in the project repo. Look for:

Source Type Where to Find What It Contains
README Root Project summary, usage, results
Research notes RESEARCH_NOTES.md, docs/ Chronological narrative of discoveries
Format specs *_SPEC.md, *_FORMAT.md Technical details, struct layouts
Session logs SESSION_LOG.md Claude Code session summaries
Drafts .nocommit/, docs/drafts/ Reddit, LinkedIn, or blog drafts
Code src/, *.py, *.go Implementation details
Tests tests/, *_test.* Validation approach, edge cases
Binary data *.hex, hex dumps in notes Raw data examples

Key: Don't just read: extract the narrative arc. What was the problem? What failed? What worked? What was surprising?

Phase 2: Extract the Story

Pull out the six-beat narrative from the source material:

  1. The hook: What's the one-sentence version? (e.g., "Five years of telemetry trapped in a proprietary format")
  2. The problem: Why did this matter? What was at stake? What failed before?
  3. The approach: How was it tackled? What was the methodology? What tools?
  4. The discoveries: What were the key technical findings? Order by "aha moment", not chronology.
  5. The validation: How was each discovery confirmed? Real numbers, cross-checks.
  6. The result: What was delivered? Links, numbers, concrete output.

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.
