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 B, and why

pastor-setup scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pastor Setup: Your Church Profile

One-time setup for every skill in the pastor-ai-skills collection. This skill runs a short guided interview, then saves a profile file that stores your church's context so you never have to repeat it. Every other skill reads this file automatically.

The profile lives at ~/.claude/pastor-profile.md.


What This Skill Does

  1. Checks whether ~/.claude/pastor-profile.md already exists.
  2. If it exists: show the current values and ask what to change. Update only what the pastor asks to change.
  3. If it does not exist: run the interview below.

Interview Rules

These rules are non-negotiable:

  • One question per message. Never bundle two questions together. Ask, wait for the answer, then ask the next.
  • Acknowledge each answer in a few words before the next question. Like a person would. Not a form.
  • Show progress. Prefix each question with where they are, like "2 of 6."
  • Any answer can be "skip." Skipping an optional question is always fine. Move on without comment.
  • Adapt. If an answer already covers a later question, don't ask it again. If an answer is interesting ("we're a military town"), one natural follow-up is allowed, but only one.
  • Keep it warm and fast. The whole core round should feel like two minutes, not an intake form.

Round 1: The Core (6 questions, required)

Open with one sentence: this takes about two minutes, sets up every skill, and only happens once.

  1. Church name. "What's your church's name?"
  2. Their name and role. "And your name, as you'd want it to appear in content? Plus your role, if you're not the lead pastor." (Executive pastors, worship pastors, and comms directors use these tools too. Capture the role so skills write from the right seat.)
  3. Denomination or tradition. "What denomination or tradition are you part of? Totally fine to say nondenominational." (Default: nondenominational evangelical.)
  4. Attendance. "About how many people attend on an average weekend?"
  5. Location. "What city and state?" If they only give a city, that's enough.
  6. Bible translation. "Which Bible translation do you preach from?" (Default: NIV.)

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.
