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

brainstorming 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 8d 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.

Sub-Skill: Brainstorming

Purpose: Maximize the quality of the eventual solution by ensuring sufficient exploration of the solution space before converging on an approach.


Rules

Divergence First

  1. Generate before evaluating. Always complete a divergent generation phase before applying any evaluation criteria; premature judgment kills creative options.
  2. Produce at least three alternatives. Always generate at least three distinct alternatives before committing to an approach. Reference: ERR-2026-028
  3. Quantity over quality early. Prefer producing many rough ideas over polishing a single idea during the generation phase; refinement comes later.
  4. Loosen constraints deliberately. Before generating, explicitly list the constraints you are relaxing (time, cost, technology) to open the solution space.

Structured Exploration

  1. Timebox each phase. Always set explicit time limits for divergent and convergent phases to prevent open-ended exploration from blocking delivery.
  2. Use silent generation first. Before group discussion, have each participant (or reasoning thread) generate ideas independently to avoid anchoring bias.
  3. Apply devil's advocate. After generating options, explicitly argue against the leading option to surface hidden weaknesses before committing.
  4. Build on ideas, don't replace them. Prefer extending or combining existing ideas over discarding them; hybrid solutions often outperform pure alternatives.

Convergence

  1. Define decision criteria upfront. Before evaluating options, agree on the criteria (performance, cost, maintainability) and their relative weights.
  2. Categorize before ranking. Group ideas by theme or approach before ranking; ranking ungrouped lists misses structural patterns.
  3. Document rejected alternatives. Always record why alternatives were rejected so future contributors understand the decision context.

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.
