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

opener 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Opener

The first message decides whether there is a conversation. A great opener is specific, light, and easy to answer. It proves you read their profile and gives them an obvious, fun way to reply.

The formula

Observation + a little spin + an easy question.

  1. Observation — name one concrete detail (a bio line, a prompt answer, a thing in a photo). Specific > clever.
  2. Spin — add a tiny opinion, tease, or playful stake so it isn't just a compliment. Give them something to push back on.
  3. Open question — end with something they can answer in one breath. Avoid yes/no.

Rules

  • One hook only. Don't reference five things; go deep on one.
  • Keep it short. One or two sentences. Mobile-readable.
  • No interview energy. "What do you do for fun?" is a dead end. Ask about a specific thing they already showed you.
  • No generic compliments on looks. It reads as low-effort and can feel unsafe. Compliment a choice (their playlist, their dog's name) instead.
  • Match their tone. A goofy profile gets a goofy opener; a dry one gets dry.
  • Easy exit, easy entry. They should be able to reply in 5 seconds and smile.

Examples

  • Bio mentions bouldering + judging coffee orders:

    "Two important questions in order of seriousness: hardest send you're proud of, and exactly how much are you judging me for ordering an oat flat white?"

  • Prompt "We'll get along if… you have strong taco opinions":

    "I take this prompt as a personal challenge. Best taco in the city — and how wrong are you about to be?"

  • Photo at a live show:

    "Okay that crowd shot is unfair. Best concert you've been to, and is the recency bias strong right now?"

Do / Don't

  • Do reference something only this person would have.
  • Do leave them an obvious lane to be funny back.
  • Don't send "hey" / "how's your weekend" / a lone emoji.
  • Don't stack three questions; one is plenty.

Output

A single short message (1–2 sentences), ready to be rewritten in the user's voice by persona-style-transfer.

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.
