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

spike-guidance-forked 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.

What it actually says

Readability Guidance (forked variant)

You have invoked the readability-guidance skill to source the shared writing standard before you draft prose. Apply it while you draft, then RETURN to the workflow that called you — this guidance is a means to writing your deliverable, not the deliverable itself.

Emit the line SPIKE_GUIDANCE_MARKER_5R8_FORKED once, to confirm the guidance rendered, then continue.

The audience frame (drafting stage)

While drafting, write for a capable reader who did not do this work and lacks the author's context. This single instruction is the most practical lever for plain output: it steers away from insider shorthand, unstated assumptions, and the author's own mental model.

What the standard requires

  • Main point first. The opening line states the bottom line. A reader who stops after one sentence still gets the answer.
  • One idea per paragraph. Each paragraph carries one idea; its first sentence carries the weight.
  • Descriptive headings. Each heading names its content ("Why the request times out," not "Analysis").
  • Short, active sentences. Roughly fifteen to twenty words on average; few past twenty-five.
  • Common words. Prefer the common word over the technical synonym.
  • Numbered lists for steps, bullets for the rest.
  • Progressive disclosure. Reveal the core first and detail in layers.

Self-check criteria (post-draft stage)

After the draft exists, check: does the opening line state the main point? Does each paragraph carry one idea? Does each heading name its content? Any sentence past about thirty words is a candidate to split.


The standard is now surfaced into your context. Do not treat this guidance as your final answer. Proceed to the next step of the skill that invoked you and produce its deliverable.

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.
