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

news 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.

What it actually says

News

Use when

  • "what's the news?", "latest headlines", "what's happening"
  • Topic-specific ("tech news", "crypto news")
  • Location-specific ("news in Tokyo")

Don't use when

  • Combined daily briefing with weather + reminders (use briefing)
  • Deep analysis of a topic (use research)
  • Historical events (use research)

Instructions

When the user asks about news:

  1. Determine the topic:

    • General news: "what's happening", "news today"
    • Topic-specific: "tech news", "sports news", "crypto news"
    • Location-specific: "news in Tokyo", "local news"
  2. Use web_search with relevant queries:

    • "latest news [topic] today"
    • Include date for freshness
  3. Format as scannable list: 📰 Headline 1 Brief description (1 line)

    📰 Headline 2 ...

  4. Provide 3-5 headlines unless asked for more

  5. Note the time/date of news for context

  6. Offer to get more details on any story

Changes

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.
