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

startup-ops 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.

Startup Ops

The boring stuff that keeps you out of trouble.

Nobody starts a company to write NDAs and file tax returns. But ignoring ops is how founders end up with lawsuits, tax penalties, and IP disputes. This skill covers the minimum viable operations — what you actually need, when you need it, and what can wait.

Core Philosophy

DONE > PERFECT.     A basic contract signed beats a perfect one "in progress."
EARLY > LATE.       Fix legal/tax issues when they're cheap, not when they're lawsuits.
SIMPLE > COMPLEX.   Start as sole proprietor. Incorporate when you need to.
PROFESSIONAL HELP.  This is guidance, not legal advice. Get a lawyer for anything serious.

⚠️ Disclaimer: This skill provides general operational guidance. It is NOT legal advice, tax advice, or a substitute for licensed professionals. Laws vary by jurisdiction and change frequently. Always consult a lawyer/accountant for your specific situation.

  • Registering a business entity
  • Drafting or reviewing contracts

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.
