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

Social Caption Writer 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 36 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Social Caption Writer

Turn a topic plus brand voice into one platform-native caption that wins the first line and earns one specific action.

Workflow

  1. Confirm the platform (Instagram, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, or TikTok). If unstated, ask - every length, shape, and CTA below is platform-specific.
  2. Pin the brand voice. Use the traits the user gave. If they gave none, ask for 2-3 adjectives and one phrase the brand would never say before writing.
  3. Check the paired asset. If an image or video is described, write the caption to complement it (don't restate what's visible). If undescribed, ask - the caption's job depends on what it ships with.
  4. Reject thin or off-brand topics. If there's nothing to say, name that and propose a sharper angle instead of dressing up nothing.
  5. Write the hook into the first sentence - before the truncation cutoff (~125 chars on Instagram, ~140 on LinkedIn, the first line on X, one breath on TikTok). Lead with tension, a number, a contrarian claim, or a stakes-raising question. Never open with throat-clearing context.
  6. Fit native length and shape: Instagram 138-150 chars for punchy, or 1-3 tight paragraphs for storytelling; LinkedIn 1300-2000 chars with one-sentence lines and white space between them; X under 280, ideally ~100 so it breathes; TikTok short and curiosity-driven since the video carries the load. Use generous line breaks on Instagram and LinkedIn for mobile reading.
  7. Carry voice in word choice and rhythm, not adjectives: cut exclamation points for a dry/technical brand; let fragments and asides through for a playful one.
  8. End with exactly one specific CTA matched to platform behavior - saves/comments on Instagram, thoughtful replies on LinkedIn, reply/repost on X, follow/duet on TikTok. Make it concrete ("Save this for your next launch", not "engage with us"). Reference a link only when there's a real reason to leave the app.

Quality bar

  • The first sentence stands alone as a reason to keep reading, with no context preamble before it.
  • Length and line-break shape match the chosen platform's range above.
  • The brand's voice is detectable in the verbs and rhythm, not just a sign-off.
  • Exactly one CTA, specific and matched to how people act on that platform.
  • Emojis used as accents, never as punctuation replacements.

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.
