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

content-arc-planner 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 8d 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.

Content Arc Planner

What This Skill Does

Plans a multi-edition content arc for a newsletter — mapping themes, topics, and recurring formats across a defined publishing period to give the publication editorial coherence and reader momentum rather than a disconnected series of standalone editions.

When To Use This Skill

  • You are planning a new series within your newsletter (e.g. a six-week investigation into a specific topic)
  • You are planning a quarter or half-year of editions and need a thematic structure, not just a list of topics
  • Your newsletter has become episodic and disconnected, and you want to introduce narrative momentum that builds from edition to edition
  • You are launching a new newsletter and want to plan the first eight to twelve editions to establish the publication's range and character
  • You want to develop a signature annual arc (e.g. a retrospective issue every December, a seasonal focus in Q1) to give long-term readers something to look forward to

What You Need To Provide

Required: Newsletter name, subject area, and publishing cadence; the time period to plan (e.g. "next 8 editions", "Q2", "12 weeks"); any known fixed events, deadlines, or seasonal hooks that should anchor specific editions Optional: The newsletter's current recurring formats or sections; any topics you have been saving for the right moment; reader feedback themes you want to address; whether you want to introduce any new recurring sections during this arc; your editorial ambition (is this period a good time to go deeper on one subject, or range more widely?)

How the Assistant Approaches This

  1. Identifies the natural narrative or thematic logic of the period — what questions can this series of editions build toward answering? What would make a reader who reads every edition feel they have gone on a journey rather than just received regular updates?
  2. Maps an arc structure: an opening edition that establishes the period's central focus, a development phase where individual editions add complexity or explore adjacent angles, and a closing edition that synthesises or resolves the arc without being artificially tidy
  3. Assigns recurring formats and special formats across the arc — ensuring a mix of depth and accessibility, and flagging which editions could serve as good entry points for new subscribers (important for promotion strategy)
  4. Flags edition-level hooks, angles, or tensions that will give each entry its own distinct value — an arc should not make individual editions feel like installments that require the others; each one should be independently readable while rewarding the full sequence
  5. Notes practical production requirements: which editions will need advance research, interviews, or data gathering, so the editor can plan workload accordingly
