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

clean-user-facing-text 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/clean_text.py, scripts/common.py, scripts/inspect_text.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 — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Clean user-facing text

Final hygiene pass on prose the user owns or is authorized to process. Unicode cleanup is deterministic. Statistical-watermark reduction is best-effort. Never claim a rewrite proves human authorship or is undetectable. Keep required academic, legal, platform, and regulatory disclosures.

Workflow

  1. Identify the prose that readers will see.
  2. Protect non-prose spans:
    • fenced and inline code
    • commands, paths, URLs, identifiers, API names, and exact values
    • formulas, citations, and text the user asks to quote verbatim
  3. Preserve every claim, fact, number, name, citation, and requirement.
  4. Establish the writing brief before changing prose:
    • use a voice sample only when the user owns it or is authorised to use it; don't imitate another named person
    • when there is no sample, make the prose clear and natural without pretending to imitate a particular person
    • keep required disclosures, uncertainty, and the writer's actual point of view
  5. Rewrite the remaining prose once:
    • vary clause order, sentence boundaries, rhythm, connectors, and function words
    • replace formulaic transitions and filler with direct, natural wording
    • keep the concrete details and judgement that make the text recognisable as the writer's
    • treat unusual grammar, repetition, directness, and phrasing as possible voice or accessibility choices; change them only when the user asks or when they create a clear reading problem
    • preserve the requested language, tone, structure, and formatting; never translate unless asked
    • for non-English text, use fluent constructions native to that language rather than English sentence patterns
    • do not add or remove claims merely to increase variation
  6. For text artifacts or supplied text files, run the deterministic Unicode pass after rewriting.
  7. Return only the polished result unless the user asks for an audit or explanation.

For practical guidance on preserving a writer's voice and removing formulaic prose, read references/writing-in-your-voice.md whenever the user asks to retain or adjust voice.

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.
