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

format-converter-brief 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.

Format Converter Brief

What This Skill Does

Produces a clear, step-by-step brief explaining exactly how to convert a finished article or document from one format (Word, plain text, InDesign export) into a specified target format (Markdown, HTML, or structured plain text), preserving all editorial elements correctly.

When To Use This Skill

  • You need to move a finished article from a Word document into a CMS that uses Markdown or HTML
  • A web editor has sent you a piece that needs to be posted to a platform with specific markup requirements
  • You are handing off formatted copy to a developer or digital producer and need to give them precise conversion instructions
  • You are preparing archival versions of published articles in multiple formats

What You Need To Provide

Required: The source format (e.g., Word .docx, InDesign exported .txt, plain email text) and the target format (Markdown, HTML, or structured plain text). A description or paste of the article's structural elements — headings, subheadings, pull quotes, captions, byline, bullet lists, embedded links, footnotes.

Optional: The name or type of CMS the output will be pasted into (WordPress, Arc, Contentful, Ghost). Any house style rules that affect markup — for example, whether <h2> or ## is used for section heads, or whether links open in new tabs.

How the Assistant Approaches This

  1. Identifies every structural element in the source document — body paragraphs, headlines, subheadings, captions, bylines, pull quotes, bullet lists, links, footnotes — and maps each to its correct equivalent in the target format.
  2. Flags any elements that have no clean equivalent in the target format (for example, multi-column layouts or decorated drop caps in Word have no Markdown equivalent) and recommends a practical workaround.
  3. Produces a brief structured as a numbered conversion checklist: one instruction per element type, written in plain language so that any editor — not just a developer — can follow it without ambiguity.
