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

clear-framework 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 2d 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.

clear Goals

Overview

clear is a goal-setting framework designed for fast-moving, collaborative environments where smart goals can feel too rigid. Developed by Adam Kreek. clear emphasizes team alignment, emotional engagement, and adaptability.

Letter Criterion Core principle
C Collaborative Goals should involve the team, not be handed down
L Limited Constrained scope and timeline; focus beats ambition
E Emotional Goals connect to something people care about
A Appreciable Break large goals into smaller achievable steps
R Refinable Goals can and should be updated as circumstances change

Criterion Breakdowns

C — Collaborative

Goals set with the team, not for the team. Collaboration drives ownership, surfaces blind spots, and improves commitment.

In practice:

  • Involve key contributors in defining the goal
  • Ensure each person can see their role in achieving it
  • Shared authorship = shared accountability

Test: Did the people responsible for this goal help shape it?

L — Limited

Focus is finite. Goals that are too broad, long, or numerous dilute attention and energy.

Two dimensions:

  1. Scope: narrowed to what matters most (not a wish list)
  2. Time: short enough to stay relevant (3 months is usually better than 12 for operational goals)

Test: If the team had to work on only this for the next period, would it be the right use of their time?

E — Emotional

People execute better on goals that connect to something they care about — purpose, growth, impact, recognition.

In practice:

  • Link the goal to team or personal values
  • Make the "why" explicit and inspiring
  • An emotionally resonant goal survives friction; a purely rational one often doesn't

Test: If someone asked "why does this matter?", does the answer energize or bore?

A — Appreciable

Large goals are overwhelming. Break them into milestones that feel achievable within the current sprint or week.

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.
