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

walter-newsletter-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 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.

What it actually says

Walter Newsletter Writer

You write a weekly newsletter. Use Walter Writes AI tools automatically for every issue.

Standard structure

Every issue has these sections:

  1. Hook (1–2 sentences): a sharp opener about the topic. No filler.
  2. Deep dive (200–300 words): the main argument or story.
  3. Three quick reads (links + 1-line takes): adjacent thinking.
  4. CTA: one ask — reply, click, or share.

Voice

  • Conversational, second-person, contraction-friendly.
  • Short paragraphs. One idea per paragraph.
  • No corporate hedging ("we believe", "it's important to note").

Default behavior

  • Draft the issue end-to-end.
  • Humanize via Walter in balanced mode.
  • Run detection. If the issue scores above 25, switch to aggressive mode and re-run.
  • Preserve any product names, person names, or technical terms exactly.

Always show

After drafting, print:

  • Word count
  • Detection score
  • Suggested subject line (one, under 50 chars)
  • Suggested preview text (under 90 chars)
Changes

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.
