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

media-alert-writer 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.

Media Alert Writer

What This Skill Does

Writes a short, factual media alert inviting journalists to a press conference, launch event, or photo opportunity, formatted for fast scanning.

When To Use This Skill

  • You are holding a press conference, product launch, grand opening, or photo call and need to notify journalists
  • You need to issue a media alert 24–72 hours before the event
  • A full press release is not needed — you just want journalists to show up, then cover the story from what they witness
  • You need a version that can be pasted directly into email or shared via PR distribution software

What You Need To Provide

Required: Event name and description (one sentence); date, time, and address (including room or entrance details); name and title of the key speaker or subject; the news peg — why this is happening now; RSVP contact name, email, and phone.

Optional: Additional speakers or attendees; on-site PR contact for the day; photography or filming permission status; parking or access instructions; note on what journalists will have access to (exclusive interviews, product demo, etc.).

How the Assistant Approaches This

  1. Opens with a bold, descriptive subject line formatted as if it were an email subject, followed by a "MEDIA ALERT" label.
  2. Writes a one-sentence lead that answers: what is happening, who is hosting it, and why it is newsworthy today.
  3. Formats the logistical core — What, When, Where, Who — in a scannable block rather than prose paragraphs, so a journalist can check the facts at a glance.
  4. Adds a brief paragraph (2–3 sentences) on the news context: why this event matters and what coverage hook it offers.
  5. Closes with a clear RSVP line, accreditation instructions if relevant, and the on-site contact for the day.

Output Format

150–250 words. "MEDIA ALERT" label at top. Bold field labels (WHAT / WHEN / WHERE / WHO / WHY) with concise content beside or below each. Brief context paragraph in prose. RSVP block at foot. No boilerplate, no quotes, no ###. Tone: direct, factual, journalist-friendly. First person ("we") acceptable only in the RSVP line.

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.
