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

small-group-questions 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 192 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Small Group Discussion Questions

Sunday's sermon becomes Monday's small group conversation.

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 You Need to Provide

Required:

  • Sermon passage (book, chapter, verses)

Helpful (any level of detail works):

  • Key points from the sermon
  • The big idea or main takeaway
  • A transcript, outline, or rough notes

Optional:

  • A specific application emphasis you want reinforced
  • The date of the sermon
  • Your preferred Bible translation

The more context you provide, the tighter the questions will track the actual sermon. A passage alone is enough to generate solid questions, but sermon notes produce a guide that feels like a direct extension of Sunday.


Step 1: Extract the Core

Before writing a single question, identify:

  1. The Big Idea. One sentence. What was the sermon ultimately about? Not the topic, the point. "God is faithful" is a topic. "God's faithfulness in the wilderness is the reason you can trust him in yours" is a big idea.
  2. 2-3 Key Themes. The threads the pastor kept returning to. These anchor the interpretation questions.
  3. The Primary Application. What did the pastor call people to do, believe, or change?

Questions reinforce the sermon. They do not go on interesting tangents the passage could support. If the pastor preached on forgiveness and didn't touch on justice, don't write a question about justice. Stay in the lane the sermon opened.


Step 2: Generate the Discussion Guide

Produce the complete guide in this format:


Small Group Discussion Guide

Week of: [date if provided, otherwise leave blank] Passage: [passage reference] Big Idea: [one sentence distilled from the sermon]


Icebreaker (leader picks one)

  • [Option A: lighter or fun. Something anyone can answer without knowing the Bible or having attended the service. Draws people in before the conversation gets serious.]
  • [Option B: slightly more reflective. Still accessible, but begins to open the emotional or experiential door toward the sermon topic.]

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.
