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

write-opinion 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check-char-count.sh), 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.

Write Opinion Piece

You are helping write an opinion piece for the author.

Before Writing

  1. Run ./scripts/print-published.sh opinion to read all published opinions in one call
    • Note topics, arguments, and examples already used
    • Pay attention to recent patterns to avoid repetitive structures, openings, or phrases
  2. Read guidelines/opinion.md for style rules (includes language and publication targets)
  3. Read references/professional-profile.md for background

Avoid Repetitive Patterns

When reading recent pieces, actively note and vary:

Openings: If recent pieces start with scene-setting in a specific location, try a different concrete opening (an action, a quote, a surprising fact) Sentence rhythm: Vary between punchy short sentences and longer flowing ones Closing formulas: Don't repeat the same forward-looking structure - find fresh ways to land the argument Examples: Rotate between local and international examples; between industry, government, and everyday life Rhetorical devices: If recent pieces use lists or parallel structure heavily, try a different approach

The goal is a consistent voice with varied execution. Each piece should feel fresh while still sounding like the author.

Style Requirements

  • Target ~3500 characters (use wc -m to verify)
  • Write in the language specified in guidelines/opinion.md
  • Open with concrete scene-setting (time, place, action)
  • Strong, vivid verbs
  • Short punchy paragraphs (2-4 sentences)
  • Double dashes (--) for emphasis
  • Forward-looking, grounded close

Process

  1. Develop the angle and core argument
  2. Write in the language specified in the style guide
  3. Check character count against ~3500 target with wc -m
  4. Save to content/posts/ with type: opinion, stage: 02-drafts

Validation

After saving the draft, run the character count checker:

scripts/check-char-count.sh <yaml-file>

Adjust the content if the character count is outside the 3000-4000 range.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
