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

tg-markdown-to-rich 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/md2rich.py, tests/test_md2rich.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 — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

tg-markdown-to-rich

The converter uses Python 3 standard library only. Direct sending requires network access to api.telegram.org and TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN.

Converts a Markdown file (or stdin) into a Telegram InputRichMessage JSON object. The output uses the markdown field of InputRichMessage and is ready to pass directly to sendRichMessage.

See also: ../tg-rich-messages/SKILL.md for composing rich messages programmatically.


Usage

# File input → stdout JSON
python3 scripts/md2rich.py document.md

# Pipe stdin
cat report.md | python3 scripts/md2rich.py

# Additional flags
python3 scripts/md2rich.py document.md --rtl
python3 scripts/md2rich.py document.md --skip-entity-detection
python3 scripts/md2rich.py document.md \
  --media cover=photo=AgAC...file_id \
  --media voice=voice_note=https://cdn.example.com/briefing.ogg

# Bindings with player metadata (duration, performer, title, has_spoiler)
python3 scripts/md2rich.py document.md --media-json bindings.json

# Upload local files: each attach://NAME needs a matching --attach NAME=PATH
python3 scripts/md2rich.py document.md \
  --media-json bindings.json \
  --attach cover_file=./cover.png \
  --attach answer_file=./answer.mp3

# Send directly via Telegram Bot API (multipart when --attach is used)
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=<token> python3 scripts/md2rich.py document.md \
  --send --chat-id <chat_id>

--media covers the common ID=TYPE=SOURCE case. Use --media-json when a binding needs fields that syntax cannot express — an audio track's duration, performer, and title, or has_spoiler on a photo:

[
  {
    "id": "answer",
    "media": {
      "type": "audio",
      "media": "attach://answer_file",
      "duration": 4,
      "performer": "Voice 2.0",
      "title": "Answer: 323"
    }
  }
]

Exit codes

Code Meaning
0 Converted, or sent and acknowledged
1 Definite failure — limit exceeded, bad binding, or a 4xx from Telegram
2 Unknown outcome — 429, 5xx, or a transport failure during --send

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
