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

interview-transcript-editor 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 10d 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.

Interview Transcript Editor

What This Skill Does

Edits raw interview transcripts for publication — from minimal cleanup through full restructuring — across six distinct editing modes, each with its own standards for what to cut, what to keep, and how far to reshape the subject's words. Covers the full range of editorial work that happens between a recorded conversation and a published piece.

When To Use This Skill

  • You have a raw transcript and need it publication-ready in any format (print, web, broadcast, podcast)
  • You need to tighten a 60-minute conversation into a 1,500-word Q&A without losing the subject's voice
  • You are editing someone else's interview and need a consistent, defensible editorial standard
  • You need to combine material from two or more interviews with the same subject into one coherent piece
  • You want to extract the strongest quotes for sidebars, social media, or promotional copy
  • You need a fact-check pass that flags every verifiable claim in the transcript before publication
  • You are producing a broadcast segment and need the transcript reshaped for spoken delivery
  • Your subject has approval rights and you need transparent editorial notes explaining every change

What You Need To Provide

For any editing mode

Required: The raw transcript (or the section you want edited); the editing mode (verbatim cleanup, print Q&A, broadcast-ready, composite, fact-check pass, or pull-quote extraction); the publication format and outlet type (magazine, newspaper, radio, podcast, web, social) Optional: Target word count or airtime; the publication's house style; which sections are must-keep material; the subject's identity type (see Subject Type table below); whether the subject has approval rights; whether any portion was off-the-record; the interviewer's notes about tone, context, or intent behind specific questions

For composite edits specifically

Required: All transcripts to be combined (minimum two); a note on which interview was conducted first (chronological context matters); whether the subject knew their answers from different sessions would be combined Optional: Which topics overlap between interviews; any contradictions between sessions that need flagging

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.
