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

decision-memo-builder 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.

Decision Memo Builder

A 1-page memo that forces a decision. Not a status update. Not a brief. Not a FYI. The reader walks away knowing exactly what they are being asked to approve, by when, and why.


Memo DNA — four non-negotiables

Every decision memo must pass all four. If the draft fails one, rewrite. Do not ship a memo that fails Memo DNA.

  1. Brutal brevity — 1 page, ~400 words max. Every sentence earns its place or gets cut.
  2. Storyline clarity (SCP) — Situation → Complication → Resolution flow. Reader never asks "so what?"
  3. Decision-forcing — Last line is a yes/no ask with owner and date. Never "further analysis needed."
  4. Evidence density — Every claim backed by a number, quote, or source. No adjectives doing load-bearing work.

Structure

Title (≤10 words)

Name the decision, not the topic.

  • ✅ "Sunset legacy reporting engine by Q3"
  • ❌ "Reporting strategy update"

Context (3–4 sentences)

State of the world before the ask. Facts only. Baseline numbers. No history-of-the-universe framing.

Complication (2–3 sentences)

What changed, or what's at risk if we don't decide now. Include the number that makes this urgent.

  • ✅ "Usage down 15% QoQ; 3 enterprise deals ($1.2M) flagged the gap in Q1 QBRs."
  • ❌ "Usage has been declining and customers are concerned."

Options (2–3 options, 1–2 lines each)

Mutually exclusive. Each option gets:

  • Name
  • One-line description
  • The single most important trade-off (cost, time, or risk)

Do not sneak a recommendation in here.

Recommendation (1 short paragraph)

State the chosen option and why it wins on the decision criteria that matter most. Cite the evidence that tips the call.

Risks & Mitigations (≤3 bullets)

The top 3 things that could go wrong, each paired with a 1-line mitigation. Not a risk inventory — the three the reader would actually ask about.

The Ask (1 line)

A specific yes/no request with an owner and a date.

  • ✅ "Approve sunset by EOD Friday; Sarah owns migration plan by 5/1."
  • ❌ "Let's discuss next steps."

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.
