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

cf-brief 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 10d 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 — 335 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Content Brief Generator

Generate a comprehensive, research-backed content brief from a keyword or topic. The brief includes keyword data, competitor content analysis, search intent classification, audience pain points, a recommended outline, and an actionable SEO strategy — everything a writer needs to produce high-ranking content on the first draft.

When to Use

Use /contentforge:cf-brief when:

  • You need a structured content brief before starting production with /contentforge:create-content
  • You want data-driven keyword research to inform topic selection
  • You need to analyze competitor content to find gaps and differentiation angles
  • You're planning a content calendar and need briefs for multiple upcoming pieces
  • A client or stakeholder requires a brief for approval before production begins
  • You want to understand search intent before committing to a content type

For direct content production (brief + draft in one step), use /contentforge:create-content instead. For multiple briefs, run /contentforge:cf-brief once per topic.

What This Command Does

  1. Keyword Research — Primary keyword analysis with search volume, keyword difficulty, related and semantically adjacent terms, and long-tail opportunities
  2. Competitor Content & E-E-A-T Analysis — Analyze top 5 ranking pages for word count, structure, key points covered, content gaps, unique angles, and E-E-A-T signals (author credentials, original research, first-hand experience)
  3. Search Intent Classification — Determine whether the query is informational, commercial, transactional, or navigational, and recommend content type accordingly
  4. Audience Pain Points & Questions — Map target audience needs, common questions, forum discussions, and "People Also Ask" patterns
  5. Recommended Outline — Generate a structured outline with title options, section descriptions, word count allocations, and citation targets per section
  6. SEO Strategy — Keyword placement plan, meta title/description recommendations, internal linking opportunities, featured snippet potential, and schema markup suggestions
  7. AEO/GEO Strategy — AI Overview presence check, citation-worthiness checklist, entity consistency, answer-block recommendations, honest llms.txt note (not a ranking/citation signal)
  8. Success Metrics — Define measurable goals: target word count, minimum citations, readability target, quality score goal (8.5+)

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.
