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

post-reddit 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 11d 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.

Reddit Posting Skill

Platform Overview

Reddit is a network of communities (subreddits) organized by topic. Posts succeed when they provide genuine value to the community. Self-promotion must be balanced with authentic participation. Reddit has 1.7B+ monthly active users and is the #1 platform for community-driven content.

Account Requirements

CRITICAL: Reddit's platform-level spam filters auto-remove posts from new or low-karma accounts. This is NOT a subreddit mod rule — it is Reddit's own filter and cannot be bypassed by changing content.

  • Minimum Karma: ~100 karma recommended to post freely. Some subreddits require 1,000+.
  • Account Age: Many subreddits require accounts to be 7-30 days old before posting.
  • Subreddit Karma: Some subs track karma earned within that specific subreddit.
  • Comment vs Post Karma: Comment karma is easier to build. Start by commenting helpfully.
  • External Links: Posts containing external links (GitHub, personal sites) from low-karma accounts are auto-removed by Reddit's filters — even if the content is legitimate.
  • Building Karma: Comment helpfully on r/AskReddit, r/CasualConversation, r/NoStupidQuestions for 2-7 days before attempting to post links.

Platform Constraints

  • Title: Max 300 characters (keep under 100 for best engagement)
  • Body: Max 40,000 characters for self-posts
  • Media: Images, videos, polls, links
  • Flair: One flair per post (required in many subreddits — post FAILS without it)
  • Links: URL posts or self-posts with inline links
  • Rate Limiting: Reddit rate-limits posting frequency per account
  • Cross-posting: Reddit's built-in crosspost feature is distinct from reposting

Pre-Post Checklist

Before attempting to post, the agent MUST verify:

  1. Check account karma: If karma < 100, WARN the user that the post will likely be auto-removed
  2. Read subreddit rules: Navigate to https://www.reddit.com/r/{subreddit}/about/rules and check requirements
  3. Check if flair is required: Many subreddits reject posts without flair
  4. Check minimum karma/age: Some subs display these requirements in their rules
  5. Consider text-only strategy: If account has low karma, post WITHOUT links in the body — put the link in the first comment instead

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.
