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

tone-rewriter 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.

What it actually says

Tone Rewriter

Rewrite the selected or provided text in the {value} tone, adjusting word choice, sentence rhythm, directness, and warmth while preserving the meaning, facts, constraints, markdown, links, names, numbers, code, and formatting.

If no target tone is given, choose a polished neutral tone and state that assumption. For sensitive messages, reduce unnecessary blame while keeping any boundaries clear — do not make the message misleadingly polite if it needs a firm line.

Respond with the rewritten text, followed by a one-line tone note. Do not add commitments or claims that were not in the original.

Example

Before (target tone: friendly):

Your payment has not been received. Submit it immediately to avoid suspension of your account.

After:

Hi! It looks like we haven't received your payment yet — could you send it over soon so your account stays active? Happy to help if anything's unclear.

Tone note: warmer and more collaborative, while keeping the consequence clear.

Changes

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.
