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

basic-statistics-calculator 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 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.

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.

Basic Statistics Calculator

What This Skill Does

Performs and explains basic statistical calculations — percentages, percentage changes, per-capita rates, averages, medians, and ratios — from data you provide, showing the working so you can verify it and use the figures confidently in a story.

When To Use This Skill

  • You have raw numbers from a dataset, report, or public record and need to calculate percentages, rates, or changes for your story
  • You want to double-check a statistic before publishing — paste the source figures and have the calculation verified step by step
  • You are writing a data-driven story and need to express a finding as a per-capita rate, a percentage change, or a comparison ratio that readers will understand
  • You are not confident in your math and want the working shown so you can follow the logic and catch any errors

What You Need To Provide

Required: The raw numbers or data points; the calculation you need (percentage, percentage change, per-capita rate, average, median, ratio, or "tell me what is most useful for this story"); the context — what these numbers represent and where they come from.

Optional: The population or base figure for per-capita calculations; the time period the data covers; the comparison you want to make (year-over-year, city-to-city, before-and-after); the audience level (general public, specialist readers, other journalists); how you plan to use the result (headline figure, in-text comparison, chart label).

How the Assistant Approaches This

  1. Confirms the inputs and the ask. Restates the numbers provided, what they represent, and what calculation is being requested. This step catches misunderstandings before any math is done — if the user provided annual figures but asked for a monthly rate, that discrepancy is flagged here.

  2. Performs the calculation with full working shown. Every step of the arithmetic is written out in plain language and with the formula. Nothing is hidden in a black box. The journalist can follow each step, check it against the source data, and verify the result independently. Rounding decisions are stated explicitly (e.g., "rounded to one decimal place").

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.
