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

asd-ste100 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100)

Apply the ASD-STE100 specification (Issue 8) when writing or rewriting technical text. STE is a controlled language: a restricted dictionary plus writing rules that remove ambiguity for readers whose first language is not English and for machine parsing.

When to Use

  • The user invokes /asd-ste100 or asks for STE, Simplified Technical English, or controlled language.
  • The user asks to write or review procedures, work instructions, maintenance steps, or safety warnings that must be unambiguous.
  • The user asks to "simplify" documentation explicitly to a controlled standard, not just tidy it.

Core Principles

  1. One word, one meaning. Each approved word has exactly one meaning and one part of speech. If a word is approved as a noun, do not use it as a verb.
  2. Approved words only. General vocabulary comes from the STE dictionary (about 900 words). Everything else must qualify as a Technical Name or a Technical Verb.
  3. Short, direct, active. Short sentences, active voice, one instruction per sentence.

Vocabulary Rules

Rule Standard
Approved meaning only Use a dictionary word only in its approved meaning. Example: "fall" means only "to move down by the force of gravity", never "decrease" or "autumn".
Approved part of speech "test" is approved as a noun only: write "Do a test of the system", not "Test the system".
Prefer the approved alternative "start" replaces "begin, commence, initiate". "do" replaces "carry out, perform". "before" replaces "prior to".
Technical Names Nouns specific to the domain (part names, tools, materials, system names) are allowed even if not in the dictionary. Use them consistently and only as nouns.
Technical Verbs Domain-specific actions (e.g. "to calibrate", "to drill") are allowed as verbs when no approved verb exists.
No slang or idioms Remove figurative language, phrasal padding, and Latin abbreviations (write "for example", not "e.g.").

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.
