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

power-inversion 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

Negotiation Engine (Power Inversion + Commitment)

Absorbs: commitment-device

Unified pre-negotiation skill. Structures high-stakes deals by mapping BATNAs, asserting the Dignity Premium, and securing leverage BEFORE releasing valuable assets.

Triggers

"negotiation", "prep for call", "pricing pushback", "should I share this first", "they want info before paying", "how do I protect this deal", "they said it's too expensive"

Phase 1: Power Mapping

  1. Evaluate subjective cost (identity compromise) vs objective payout.
  2. Calculate the Minimum Acceptable Offer (Responder Floor).
  3. Invert the Power Dynamic by threatening withdrawal ("The Walk").

Phase 2: Commitment Devices

Never release the asset before securing commitment.

Device Mechanism When to Use
Refundable Deposit $X upfront, refund if no deal Filters extraction-only actors
Partial Information "Deposit to see profiles" Maintains leverage
Penalty Clause Commission due regardless of channel Closes bypass loophole
Watermarking Unique identifiers proving pipeline Creates audit trail
Escrow Third party holds funds Mutual protection

The $100 Filter: A refundable deposit isn't about the money — it's a filter for intent. Serious buyer pays; extraction-only balks.

Phase 3: Bias Detection (Pricing)

  1. Source Check: Where did this number come from? (counterparty anchor, market rate, previous deal?)
  2. Structural Value: max(Cost of Production × 1.5, Value to Buyer × 0.3)
  3. Position: Under / Fair / Over relative to structural value

Reference Protocols

  • Protocol 64: Commitment Device Framework
  • Protocol 120: Power Inversion
  • Protocol 330: EEV (Expected Aggregate Value)

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.
