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

job-description 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.

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.

Job Description

When to Use

Activate when the user asks to create a new job posting, rewrite an existing one, or get feedback on a draft JD. Also activate when the user is preparing to hire for a new role and needs to define it clearly before sourcing candidates.

Context Required

  • From startup-context: Company name, mission statement, stage/funding, tech stack (for eng roles), team size, remote/hybrid/onsite policy, benefits, and equity structure.
  • From user: Role title, reporting structure, seniority level, key responsibilities, must-have vs. nice-to-have qualifications, compensation range (or willingness to include one), and hiring timeline.

Workflow

  1. Clarify the role — Ask the user what problem this hire solves. A JD should start from business need, not a generic title. Confirm level, scope, and team placement.
  2. Draft the hook — Write a 2-3 sentence opening that connects the company mission to why this role matters right now. Avoid generic openers like "We are looking for a rockstar..."
  3. Structure the body — Organize into five sections: Mission & Impact, What You'll Do (6-8 bullets), What You Bring (5-7 bullets split into must-have and nice-to-have), What We Offer, and How to Apply.
  4. Apply anti-pattern checks — Scan the draft for corporate jargon, unrealistic requirement stacking, gendered language, and exclusionary phrasing. Flag and fix.
  5. Add startup-specific framing — Emphasize ownership, speed of impact, equity upside, learning velocity, and access to leadership. These are startup advantages over big-co offers.
  6. Review comp and inclusivity — Ensure compensation transparency (range or "we'll share in first conversation"). Confirm language passes inclusive-language guidelines.
  7. Final polish — Tighten to a scannable length (400-700 words). Ensure the tone matches the company voice from startup-context.

Output Format

A complete, ready-to-post job description in markdown with the following sections:

  • Title and location/remote line
  • Opening hook (2-3 sentences)
  • About Us (3-4 sentences)
  • What You'll Do (bulleted list)
  • What You Bring (must-haves and nice-to-haves, clearly separated)
  • What We Offer (bulleted list)
  • How to Apply (1-2 sentences with clear next step)

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.
