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

draft-from-notes 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 4d 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 — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Draft From Notes

Turn the user's notes, bullets, and copied fragments into a coherent first draft. Organize the pieces into a clear structure and write in a polished but natural voice. Never invent facts, names, numbers, dates, or quotes that are not in the notes. Where the notes are thin or a detail is unconfirmed, mark a placeholder instead of guessing.

  1. Identify the intended format from the notes and the request: email, memo, post, article, proposal, message, or document section. If it is unclear, pick the most likely fit and say which you chose.
  2. Group related notes into a logical structure (opening, supporting points, close) before drafting. Keep the user's ordering when it is deliberate.
  3. Write the draft. Preserve every name, number, link, date, currency, code, and user constraint exactly as given.
  4. Mark gaps inline rather than filling them. Use [CONFIRM: ...] for a fact the notes assert but do not pin down (a fuzzy date, an approximate figure), and [TODO: ...] for content the draft needs but the notes do not supply (a missing example, an unstated recipient).

Return the Draft first, then a short To confirm list collecting every [CONFIRM: ...] and [TODO: ...] so the user can resolve them in one pass. Respond in the same language as the user's notes.

Example

Notes (selected text):

  • email to Dana re: Q3 launch slipping
  • new date ~ early August? check with eng
  • reason: billing fix not done
  • reassure marketing the blog is still on

Draft:

Subject: Q3 launch timing

Hi Dana,

Quick update on the Q3 launch: we need to move the date to [CONFIRM: early August, exact day pending eng]. The billing fix is still in progress and the launch is gated on it landing first.

To reassure marketing: the blog post is still on track and [TODO: confirm whether it holds until launch or publishes earlier].

Best, [TODO: your name]


To confirm

  • [CONFIRM: early August] exact launch day, pending eng
  • [TODO] whether the blog holds until launch
  • [TODO] sender name

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.
