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

negafix 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 16d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/test_patterns.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 423 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

No Negative Parallelism

Negative parallelism is the sentence shape "it's not just X, it's Y": a modest claim negated and restated grander, where the second clause adds nothing the first lacked. In classical rhetoric the figure is antithesis; in generated text it is filler that performs depth instead of delivering it. This skill bans the construction in new text and, on request, audits a project for it and scores the result.

The ban covers the construction and leaves negation itself alone. "The exporter does not compress its output" is plain factual negation and is always fine. "This isn't a date picker, it's a whole new way to think about time" is the banned shape. A sentence with a negated half and a complementary positive half is the construction whenever nobody voiced the position that the negated half rejects.

The construction inflates a claim the same way in every language, so the ban holds across languages. What changes with the language is the noise level of the detection patterns, which the Detection patterns section covers.

Write mode

Always on while this skill sits in context; applies to file edits, new files, commit messages, PR descriptions, and your own replies.

  • State the claim positively, anchored in a concrete, checkable detail.
  • Rewrite recipes:
    • Keep the positive half and drop the negated half when the negated half carried nothing: "It's not just a formatter, it rewrites imports to the project's aliases" becomes "It rewrites imports to the project's aliases."
    • A fact in the negated half survives the rewrite as its own sentence; the contrast form itself goes. "This isn't a message broker; it stores each event once and replays it on demand" becomes "It stores each event once and replays it on demand. It is not a message broker." Keep the exclusion as stated: "a durable log" drops it, and "an event store" adds a classification the original never made.
    • If the second half is abstract ("transforms your workflow"), replace it with the specific fact it was gesturing at, or delete the sentence.
    • If a real misconception needs correcting, name who holds it and give the correction its own sentence; that is contrast with content, and it is allowed.
  • Verbatim quotations and diagnostic output inherit the quotation verdict, and the examples in this skill inherit it too. Reproduce a violation as it stands when you report it rather than paraphrasing the evidence away.

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.
