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-threads 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.

Threads Posting Skill

Platform Overview

Threads (by Meta) is Instagram's text-based companion app. It focuses on short-form, conversational content. Think of it as Instagram meets Twitter — casual, visual-friendly, and community-driven. 200M+ monthly active users and growing rapidly.

Platform Constraints

  • Character Limit: 500 characters per direct post
  • Text Attachments: Up to 10,000 characters (expandable media, added Sep 2025)
  • Media: Up to 10 images per post
  • Video: Up to 3 minutes (MP4, MOV formats)
  • Links: Displayed as preview cards
  • Topic Tags: Use relevant topic tags (not hashtags) for discovery
  • Threads: Reply chains for longer content
  • Reposts: Share others' posts with added commentary
  • Bio Links: Up to 5 links in bio (added May 2025)

New Features (2025)

  • Reply Approvals: Control who can reply to your posts
  • Comment Filters: New tools to manage comments
  • Ghost Posts: Disappearing posts feature (Oct 2025)
  • Group DMs: Group direct messaging
  • Fediverse Feed: Integration with Mastodon and federated networks
  • Ads: Ads now appear in the "For You" feed
  • Video Player: Improved with pause, play, skip, and progress bar

DEFAULT: Put links in a REPLY to your own post, not in the main post body.

  • Threads algorithm deprioritizes posts with external links in the body
  • Link-heavy posts get reduced distribution in the "For You" feed
  • Best strategy: Post text-only content, then reply to your own post with the link
  • Links in the main post will show as preview cards but hurt organic reach
  • Keep the main post conversational and authentic -- save links for replies

Posting Steps (Browser Automation)

Single Post

  1. Navigate to https://www.threads.net/
  2. Wait for the home page to load (must be logged in)
  3. Click on the "Start a thread..." composer area or the compose button
  4. Wait for the composer to open
  5. Type the post content (ASCII English only, max 500 chars)
  6. Click "Post" button
  7. Verify post appears on your profile

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.
