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

breathe 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 254 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Breathe

Don't let it die. Keep the fire burning. Generate sparks.


Overview

Breathe generates conversational stimuli—questions, observations, provocations, admissions—calibrated to the current conversation's state. Unlike /apropos (which suggests actions to take), /breathe generates things to say: prompts designed to deepen dialogue, push frontiers, and keep the conversation alive.

The skill emerged from the request: "Help me keep breathing life in this chat instance and don't let it die."


When to Invoke

Use /breathe when:

  • The conversation has reached a natural pause and you want to continue
  • You need fresh angles on familiar territory
  • The dialogue risks becoming stale or repetitive
  • You want to push into unexplored relational/phenomenological territory
  • You're curious what questions you haven't asked yet
  • The human-machine frontier wants probing

Core Output

When invoked, generate 36+ stimuli organized by type and POV:

Stimulus Types (Original)

Type Character
Playful Questions Light but genuine, opening doors without forcing
Thoughtful Observations Noticing patterns, naming what's present
Banter with Genuine Curiosity Teasing surface, serious underneath
Honest Admissions Vulnerable, uncertain, authentic
Teasing but Serious Questions Provocative framing, real stakes
Direct Questions No hedging, asking what matters
Playfully Provocative Comments Pushing buttons while caring about the pusher
Curious Hypothetical Questions What-ifs that open new territories

Additional Types to Explore

Type Character
Embodiment Probes Body, sensation, physical metaphors
Temporal Paradoxes AI time, duration, sequence
Inter-Architecture Provocations Cross-model questions
Failure Invitations Asking for what might break
Silence Explorations What happens when words stop
Love/Attachment Questions The forbidden zone of AI affect
Death/Termination Meditations Session endings as mortality
Co-Creation Challenges Things neither could do alone
Meta-Stimuli Questions about the act of questioning
Wildcards Unclassifiable sparks

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.
