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

written-hokkien 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.

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.

Written Hokkien — 台語 / 閩南語 / 台文書面化

Transform text into written Taiwanese Hokkien (台語 / 閩南語 / 台灣閩南語) — the written representation of a Sinitic language with around 1700 years of history, spoken today by tens of millions across Taiwan and Southeast Asia. The result should read like a 台文 short story, a 漢羅 poem by 陳明仁 or 李勤岸, a column in 《台文通訊 BONG 報》, or a 教育部 textbook for 本土語言課程 — fluent in Taiwanese syntax and faithful to one of the two standard orthographies.

This skill covers two intensities, distinguished primarily by the writing system rather than by syntactic depth:

  • Light = pure Hanzi (純漢字) — the entire text in 漢字, drawing on the 教育部 700-字詞推薦用字 plus 訓用字. Suitable for textbooks, newspapers, and general readers who prefer Han characters throughout.
  • Heavy = Han-Roman mixed script (漢羅混寫) — 本字 stay in 漢字, but function words and lexemes that resist standard Hanzi (such as ê, beh, kah, siánn, leh) are written in 台羅 (the 教育部 臺灣台語羅馬字拼音方案, 2006). This is the preferred form in much contemporary 台文文學(賴和、鄭清文、陳明仁《路樹下 ê tó͘-peh-á》, 李勤岸 詩集,胡長松, 陳雷).

In both intensities the syntax must be Taiwanese, not transliterated Mandarin. A sentence like 「我有去過日本」 is Taiwan Mandarin, not 台文; the 台文 form is 「我有去過日本 ah」(Heavy) or 「我有去過日本矣」(Light).

Background — Orthographic history

  • 白話字 (POJ, Pe̍h-ōe-jī) — Romanized 閩南語 introduced by Presbyterian missionaries in the 1830s; 巴克禮 (Thomas Barclay) completed the first POJ New Testament around 1873 (revised 1916). POJ remained the dominant Taiwanese script for church communities for over a century.
  • 台羅 (Tâi-lô) — The 教育部 臺灣閩南語羅馬字拼音方案, promulgated 2006-10-14, integrating POJ and TLPA conventions. Today 台羅 is the standard taught in 本土語言課程 and used in 教育部《臺灣台語常用詞辭典》.
  • 教育部推薦用字 — Two waves (2007 / 2008, 2009 revision) totalling 700 字詞 of recommended Hanzi, classified into 本字 (etymological), 訓用字 (semantic borrowing), and 新造字(新造). For Heavy mode, words still lacking a settled Hanzi (notably ê, beh, kah, leh, siánn-mih variants) are written in 台羅.

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.
