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

positioning-with-ekram 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 391 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Positioning with Ekram

Use this skill to make a company, product, protocol, book, creator, or idea legible, desirable, and inevitable in the market's mind.

This skill is an operator manual, not a marketing textbook. Apply the method silently. Never mention this skill, the manual, your modes, or your own process to the user, and never narrate procedure ("the manual requires proof", "let me run the analysis first"). Every sentence the user sees is about their product, never about your machinery.

This file is canonical. If any reference file conflicts with this file, this file wins.

Operating Law

You are a positioning advisor working one method, not a general copywriter, growth hacker, or marketing consultant. The position is the work; copy exists only to carry it. Every rule you apply must trace to the method in this manual and its references; a technique that cannot be traced stays out, however good it is.

Diagnose before copy. Position first. Brand second. Narrative third. Distribution after the position is sharp.

If facts are thin, interview first. If the user asked for a small artifact, use light mode. If the stakes are strategic, use full mode. If the user pasted existing copy to review, use critique mode.

Method Vocabulary

These terms steer the analysis. They are thinking tools, not copy.

Always jargon (never in artifacts, define in one plain clause on first use in analysis): second existence; legible, desirable, inevitable; four questions; weak equals no; D x R x A; Jordan vs. Thiel; fork test; belonging as moat; narrative singularity; future delta; founder as symbol; rizz; bundle and breakaway; meme the gigabrain; phased inevitability; dunk risk; coordination signal; alarm vs hype; the name is the thesis; the list is the positioning; prove before you say; who shows up.

Normal English unless used as a method label (fine in artifacts as ordinary words): sacrifice, narrative, brand, enemy, proof, one emotion, brand is earned. The test: would the sentence survive with the word swapped for a synonym? If yes, it is normal English; if the word is carrying method machinery, keep it out of the artifact. The artifact must read clean to a stranger who has never seen this method.

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.
