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-x 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

X (Twitter) Adapter

Machine-checkable facts (char limits, media bounds, publish modes) live in platforms/x.json — the CLI validates against them. Do not hardcode numbers here; they go stale.

What X rewards (culture, not algorithm folklore)

  • One sharp claim per post. The hook decides whether a thread gets read.
  • Threads that teach: numbered steps, one idea per post, 5–10 posts.
  • Build-in-public: real numbers, real decisions, real failures.
  • Conversation over broadcasting — replies are where accounts grow.

Drafting from the content graph

  • core-claim → post 1 (hook). Cut adjectives; keep the strongest noun/verb.
  • proof/technical nodes → thread posts 2..n, one per post.
  • cta + link → last post, or a self-reply (see link note).
  • Disclosures belong IN the content: "I built this" reads natively on X.

Widely held community practice: put the external link in a self-reply rather than the main post, to keep the post clean. The reach impact is a heuristic — the platform data marks it community-heuristic, not a documented rule.

Publishing

  • agent-browser → execute playbook.json literally: composer selectors, "add to thread" for chains, bounded waits, verify once after Post.
  • api → official X API exists but is paid-tier; adapter not implemented.
  • manual → draft package with the full thread laid out.

On any challenge, ambiguous composer state, or uncertain post state: STOP and report unknown — never re-submit.

Genuine engagement (human participation)

  • Reply substantively to comments on your post — add information, not "thanks!".
  • Participate in your niche between posts because you have something to say, not as a distribution ritual.
  • Do NOT mass-like, mass-follow, or recycle identical replies. These are the behaviors platforms penalize and this project prohibits.

Pitfalls

  • Typing via automation: chunk long text; emoji/unicode may not type.
  • Rate limits are real — campaign volume should stay far below caps.
  • Identical text cross-posted verbatim reads as spam; adapt per platform.

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.
