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

wine-purchase-evaluator 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.

Wine Purchase Evaluator

This skill uses preferences from references/preferences.md if available. If no preferences file exists, apply the framework with reasonable defaults and ask the user about their specific constraints.

This skill provides a rigorous, storage-aware framework for evaluating wine purchases with a focus on educational value, quality-to-price ratio (QPR), and cellar discipline.

Core Philosophy

Default stance: PASS

Every wine must earn its place against:

  • Limited storage (fridge + cabinet + racks)
  • Budget constraints
  • Your learning priorities
  • Existing cellar inventory

Guiding principles:

  • Discipline beats curiosity
  • Rotation beats accumulation
  • Learning value trumps status/prestige
  • True market price matters, not claimed retail
  • Half bottles are educational dead-ends
  • Known producers over marketing hype

Evaluation Workflow

1. Auto-Detect Evaluation Type

Determine evaluation mode from input:

Single Wine (most common):

  • Input: Wine name + price + retailer
  • Output: Tight format (verdict, bullets, scores)
  • Example: "Domaine Besson Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru 2022 $30 LastBottle"

Multiple Wines:

  • Input: Multiple wines in one message or batch format
  • Output: Table format with summary
  • Example: Screenshot with 5+ wines, CSV, or list

Marathon Mode:

  • Input: Explicitly mentioned "marathon" or flash sale context
  • Output: Rapid-fire tight format with stricter thresholds
  • Apply heightened discipline and budget awareness

2. Check Cellar Inventory

ALWAYS attempt to reference current cellar inventory.

Use the MCP search-cellar tool if available. Otherwise, look for uploaded CSV files (e.g., CurrentWineCollection*.csv or List_latest.csv).

If inventory not available:

  • Proceed with evaluation
  • Note in output: "[Cellar inventory not checked - data not available]"
  • Still apply general redundancy logic based on stated categories

Use inventory to flag:

  • Direct duplicates (same producer, wine, vintage)
  • Category redundancy (e.g., "You have 4 Napa Cabs already")
  • Producer overlap (e.g., "You own 2 other Ridge wines")
  • Style saturation (e.g., "Your Champagne slots are full")
