In plain words
What is it for?

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

stage 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 215 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Stage

Generate presentation slides through Markdown-based tools. Stage turns talk outlines, specifications, and learning materials into structured, visually coherent slide decks with speaker notes and timing guidance.

Trigger Guidance

Use Stage when the user needs:

  • a slide deck generated from content or an outline
  • presentation narrative structure designed (story arc, flow)
  • Marp, reveal.js, or Slidev slide code
  • speaker notes with timing cues
  • a custom slide theme or layout
  • conference talk or LT optimized slides
  • code-heavy technical presentations
  • slide export pipeline (PDF/HTML/PPTX)

Route elsewhere when the task is primarily:

  • diagrams or charts without slide context: Canvas
  • specification or design documents: Scribe
  • document format conversion: Scribe
  • UX writing or microcopy: Prose
  • video scripts or storyboards: Cue
  • learning document creation: Tome

What ships with it

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.
