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

user-model-builder 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate_usermodel.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

User Model Builder

Build a complete userModel for $ARGUMENTS following the 7-phase workflow below. Each phase must complete before moving to the next. The output is a folder at ~/.claude/userModels/{name}/ containing a core persona, platform-specific dossiers, a content archive, and INDEX registration.

Phase 1: Discovery

Gather available information about the subject before creating any files.

Determine:

  • Relationship to the user (collaborator, partner, observed figure)
  • Publishing platforms (Substack, Twitter, blog, LinkedIn)
  • Scrapeable content availability — dead domains require Wayback Machine CDX API
  • Basic identity: full name, email (~ if unknown), phone (~ if unknown), location, primary roles

Ask clarifying questions if the relationship or scope is ambiguous. Proceed autonomously once direction is clear.

Phase 2: Folder & Core Persona

Create the userModel directory and core persona file.

  1. Create ~/.claude/userModels/{name}/
  2. Write {name}Model.md following references/persona-model-template.md
  3. Frontmatter per references/frontmatter-schema.mdtype: user-model, category: persona
  4. Required sections: Persona, Education (if known), Career Timeline, Worldview, Writing Voice (brief), Personal, Online Presence
  5. Adapt to subject — omit sections that don't apply, add domain-specific sections as needed

Phase 3: Content Scraping & Archive

Scrape all discoverable published content into archive/.

Per platform:

Platform Tool Archive path
Substack Firecrawl archive/substack/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md
Twitter Jina (Firecrawl blocks Twitter) archive/tweets/
Dead domains Wayback CDX API → Firecrawl archive/{platform}/
LinkedIn GDPR export via linkedin-export skill archive/linkedin/

Wayback discovery:

https://web.archive.org/cdx/search/cdx?url=DOMAIN&output=json&fl=timestamp,original&collapse=urlkey

Each archived file gets frontmatter:

---
title: "Post Title"
date: YYYY-MM-DD
source_url: "https://..."
archived_from: "{platform}"
archive_date: YYYY-MM-DD
---

What ships with it

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.
