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

template-selector 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.

What This Skill Does

Takes a project description and recommends which skills, agents, and workflow sequence to use — turning a 394-skill library into a short, ordered checklist for your specific project.

When To Use This Skill

  • You are starting a new media project and do not know which skills from this library apply to your format
  • You have a deadline and want the fastest path from concept to deliverable without browsing categories
  • You are working in a format you have not used before (first podcast, first newsletter, first documentary pitch) and want a guided starting point
  • Your project crosses formats (a documentary with a companion podcast and social campaign) and you need skills from multiple categories wired into a single workflow
  • You are onboarding a colleague or collaborator who has never used the skill library and want to hand them a ready-made toolkit for the project

What You Need To Provide

Required:

  • Project type or medium (documentary, magazine feature, podcast, YouTube channel, newsletter, investigation, PR campaign, data story, screenwriting project, radio programme, social media campaign)
  • Primary deliverables (what you need to produce by the end)
  • Deadline or timeline (even a rough one: "three weeks", "six months", "ongoing weekly")

Optional:

  • Team size (solo, small team, large production)
  • Experience level with this format (first time, some experience, veteran)
  • Whether you have existing material to work from (a treatment, rough footage, interview transcripts, a dataset)
  • Budget constraints that affect scope (no travel budget, no external contributors, etc.)
  • Distribution channels (broadcast, streaming, print, web, email, social platforms)
  • Whether the project has a companion format (podcast + newsletter, documentary + social campaign)

How the Assistant Approaches This

The assistant works through these steps in order. The goal is a focused recommendation, not a catalogue of everything the library offers.

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.
