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-variants 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.

Content Variant Generator — A/B Test Optimization

Generate multiple scored variations of any content element — headlines, hooks, CTAs, introductions, or conclusions — ranked by composite quality score and aligned to your optimization goal.

When to Use

Use /contentforge:cf-variants when you need:

  • A/B test candidates for headlines, subject lines, or CTAs
  • Higher-performing alternatives to existing content elements
  • Data-informed decisions about which hook or intro to deploy
  • Systematic variation rather than guessing what works better
  • Brand-consistent alternatives that maintain voice while testing angles

For full content production, use /contentforge:create-content instead. For refreshing entire pieces, use /contentforge:content-refresh instead.

What This Command Does

Takes a single content element and generates N variations (3-10), scores each across 6 quality dimensions, ranks by composite score weighted toward your optimization goal, and presents the top 3 with detailed reasoning and A/B test setup guidance.

Process Flow:

  1. Extract & Analyze — Parse the source element, identify its type, tone, structure, and current strengths/weaknesses
  2. Generate Variations — Create N distinct alternatives using Humanizer patterns (sentence variety, natural phrasing) and Reviewer scoring logic (quality dimensions)
  3. Score Each Variation — Rate across 6 dimensions (0-10 scale)
  4. Rank & Recommend — Weight scores by optimization goal, present top 3 with explanations
  5. A/B Test Guidance — Provide test setup recommendations (sample size, duration, success metrics)

Required Inputs

Minimum Required:

  • Source Content — The existing element to generate variations for (or a topic/brief if creating from scratch)
  • Element Type — headline | hook | cta | intro | conclusion

Optional:

  • Variation Count — Number of variations to generate (3-10, default: 5)
  • Optimization Goal — clicks | engagement | conversions | readability (default: engagement)
  • Brand — Brand profile to enforce voice/tone (if registered via /contentforge:brand-setup)
  • Target Audience — Who the content is for (influences language and appeal)
  • Tone Override — Override brand default (authoritative, conversational, technical, witty)

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.
