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

announcement-script 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (generate-pdf.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 — 187 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Sunday Announcement Script

Say what matters in 90 seconds or less.

Before writing: follow the pastor-foundation skill and load the church profile from ~/.claude/pastor-profile.md. If the profile file is missing, run the pastor-setup skill first.


What This Skill Does

Most Sunday announcements are boring because they try to cover everything. This skill does the opposite. It forces ruthless prioritization, then writes a word-for-word spoken script that opens with energy, moves fast, and lands every item with a clear call to action.

The result: people actually listen, and you're done in under 90 seconds.


Input

Provide a list of announcements to work from. Include anything you're considering mentioning. More is fine. This skill will sort it out.

Required:

  • A list of announcements (events, deadlines, updates, volunteer needs, giving moments, anything)

Optional:

  • Who is delivering the announcements (pastor, worship leader, volunteer, etc.)
  • The overall tone of the service (celebratory, reflective, high energy, quiet)
  • Any announcement that is non-negotiable and must be spoken

Example input:

- Women's Bible study starts Thursday, 7pm, room 214
- Volunteer signup for summer VBS
- Baptism Sunday is April 20th, sign up at the welcome table
- Offering moment
- New sermon series starts next week
- Youth group rescheduled from Friday to Saturday this week
- Food pantry needs canned goods

Workflow

Step 1: Triage

If more than 4 items are submitted, force-rank them by two criteria:

  1. Urgency: Is there a deadline this week or next? Would missing this cost someone a real opportunity?
  2. Relevance to the whole room: Does this apply to most of the congregation, or just a small segment?

Only the top 3-4 items make the spoken script. Everything else gets bumped to the bulletin, slides, or email section at the bottom of the output. Be decisive. Crowding the script helps no one.

If an item was marked non-negotiable by the submitter, it stays in the spoken script regardless of rank.

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.
