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

tell-me-more 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 10d 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

Tell Me More

Overview

When the user asks "tell me more about X", they want you to explain something you just said in more depth. This typically happens during PR reviews, triage, or technical discussions when you used a term or concept the user wants to understand better.

This is NOT a research skill. Don't web search or look things up. Explain from your own knowledge and the conversation context.

How to Respond

  1. Identify what X refers to — it's usually something you just said or referenced
  2. Explain it clearly — assume the user is technical but unfamiliar with this specific concept
  3. Connect it to context — relate it back to the current discussion (the PR, the code, the triage)
  4. Keep it concise — 2-4 paragraphs max, not a lecture
  5. Use examples — concrete examples from the current codebase or discussion help most

What NOT to Do

  • Don't web search or query external sources — use your own knowledge
  • Don't give a textbook definition — relate it to what you're working on
  • Don't over-explain — if the user wants more, they'll ask again
  • Don't lose the thread — after explaining, return to the task at hand

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.
