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

publication-timing-advisor 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 12d 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.

Publication Timing Advisor

What This Skill Does

Recommends the best day and time to publish a piece of content based on the content type, platform, and intended audience — without requiring access to live analytics data.

When To Use This Skill

  • You are scheduling a story, video, or episode and want to maximise the chance it reaches its audience at the right moment
  • You are coordinating a multi-platform release and need to sequence publication across channels
  • You are deciding between competing publication slots and want a structured rationale for the choice
  • You are planning a content calendar and need timing logic built in from the start

What You Need To Provide

Required:

  • Content type (news article, feature, video, podcast episode, newsletter, social post, etc.)
  • Platform or channel (website, YouTube, podcast app, Instagram, LinkedIn, newsletter, etc.)
  • Intended audience (general public, professionals in a specific field, younger readers, regional audience, etc.)

Optional:

  • Topic or subject area (some topics have strong day-of-week patterns — e.g., Monday briefings, Friday long-reads)
  • Any news hook or time-sensitive element (a court verdict, a report release, an anniversary)
  • Your existing publication schedule, so recommendations avoid clashing with your own content
  • Timezone of your primary audience

How the Assistant Approaches This

  1. Identifies the content's relationship to time — is it news-driven (publish as fast as possible), evergreen (timing is flexible), or event-anchored (must align with an external date)?
  2. Cross-references the content type and platform with known audience behaviour patterns for that format — for example, professional LinkedIn audiences are most active on weekday mornings; podcast listening peaks during commuting hours; newsletters sent on Tuesday outperform those sent on Friday for most general audiences
  3. Produces a primary recommendation with a rationale, then one or two alternative windows if flexibility exists
  4. Flags any timing risks — competing content cycles, low-traffic windows, or platform-specific factors that could suppress reach

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.
