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

expense-policy 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.

Expense and Approval Policy

An expense policy that employees ignore is worse than no policy - it creates a false sense of control while spend leaks through exceptions. A good policy is short enough to read, specific enough to apply, and enforced consistently; the costly mistake this skill prevents is the prose-heavy policy nobody can apply at the moment of purchase, which converts every expense into a judgment call and every judgment call into precedent.

Operating procedure

Order matters: limits must be calibrated to the company before the approval matrix is drawn, or the tiers will not match how spend actually flows.

  1. Collect the inputs below.
  2. Draft the five mandatory sections in order: what is reimbursable, spend limits by category, approval authority by amount, documentation requirements, submission deadlines. Each section is a table or short bulleted list - never prose paragraphs. An employee must be able to scan to any answer in under 30 seconds.
  3. Calibrate the default numbers below to the company's size, geography, and travel intensity. Keep the structure even where the numbers move.
  4. Add the enforcement section - a policy without stated consequences is a suggestion.
  5. Close the catch-all: anything not listed is not reimbursable without explicit pre-approval.
  6. Route the draft to finance and legal for sign-off before publication, and pair with the expense-tool configuration so approval tiers are enforced in software, not memory.

Step 1: gather inputs

  • Company headcount and typical approver chain (who exists between employee and CFO).
  • Travel intensity: domestic vs international mix, typical destinations (sets the hotel cap - default to the median business-hotel rate in each frequent city).
  • Existing pain points: which categories currently leak (default guess: meals, software subscriptions, and late submissions - label this a guess until finance confirms).
  • Finance system in use and its approval-routing capability.
  • Currency (defaults below are USD).

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.
