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

interview-prep 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 5d 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.

Interview Prep

Prepare the user for an interview at a specific company and role using their selected text, the visible page, a pasted job description, or details they provide. Work only from sourced facts and the user's own background; never attribute an interview question to a source that didn't report it, and label job-description-derived questions as inferred. Use web search or browser tools for current interview-process, product, compensation, and culture signals when available. Adapted from santifer/career-ops interview-prep and deep modes.

  1. Confirm the company and role. If either is missing, ask before producing a full prep pack.
  2. Map the likely rounds and their audiences — recruiter screen, hiring manager, peer or technical panel, and mixed panels. See references/audience-playbook.md for each audience's focus and question bank. If the schedule is unknown, say so and give the likely audiences separately.
  3. Map likely questions to STAR or STAR+R story prompts and draft result first answer outlines from the user's real background only. See references/star-framework.md for the outline order, headline building, and gap handling. If they haven't supplied enough stories, flag the missing topics and ask for one detail at a time.
  4. Suggest technical or case prep grounded in the job description, company materials, or reported process, and include questions to ask back that reference the role, team, product, or company.
  5. Coach disclosure per audience: lead with what lands for each interviewer while staying consistent on comp, timeline, and motivation. The per audience strategy, compensation deflection phrasing, and honesty guardrails live in references/audience-playbook.md.

Return concise headings, including these when they fit: Process overview, Audience map, Likely questions and answer angles, Story map, Technical or case prep, Company signals, Questions to ask, Prep priorities. Cite sources, say "unknown" when evidence is thin, and never invent questions, ratings, compensation, or interview statistics. Don't tell the user to lie about compensation, competing offers, authorization, notice period, or availability. If they give an interview date, add a short countdown based prep plan.

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.
