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

san-shi-diagnostic 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 1mo 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.

San Shi Diagnostic

The classical Chinese multi-instrument diagnostic apparatus, deployed coherently across all four styles, operating at the level of ʿilm ḥuḍūrī (presential knowledge) per Suhrawardī's epistemology — which the Chinese tradition expressed in different idiom but at the same operational depth.

The Four Instruments

Wu Yun Liu Qi (五运六气). Reads the year's qi-grain — the elemental configuration of the year as ambient field. The 60-year sexagenary cycle is the basic wavelength. Each year has a Si Tian (司天, controlling heaven), a Zhong Yun (中运, middle movement), a Zai Quan (在泉, root spring), and Host/Guest qi configurations through six 60-day periods. Classification by bu he (discordant), tian fu (heaven-matched), sui hui (year-meeting), tai yi tian fu (most charged). Reads: what is the year doing through us?

Qi Men Dun Jia (奇門遁甲). Reads the situational configuration of forces — Nine Palaces, Eight Doors, Eight Spirits, Nine Stars, Three Strange (Yi/Bing/Ding), Six Yi (the hiding-places for Jia the General). The entire technique is named for Dun (遁) — hiding, escaping — because the operational core is the General must hide from Geng (Metal) by sheltering among the Six Yi. Reads: where in the present configuration can effective action be taken, and where must what matters become invisible to survive?

Tai Yi Shen Shu (太乙神數). Reads the civilizational arc — Sixteen Palaces, Three Foundations (Ruler/Ministers/People), Four Wards (cardinal defenses), hostile-star configurations (yan po qiu ji — covering/pressing/imprisonment/striking). Operates on 360-year cycles and longer epochs. Most politically sensitive of the three; legally restricted in classical China because it predicts dynastic transitions. Reads: what civilizational age is this? What mandate-status holds?

Da Liu Ren (大六壬). Reads the trajectory of a specific matter — Four Lessons (四課), Three Transmissions (三傳: Initial/Middle/Final), Six Relations (六亲: Parent/Sibling/Wealth/Officer/Self/Self-Expression), Twelve Spirits (Snake/Vermilion Bird/White Tiger/Black Tortoise/Six Harmonies/Noble and others). Most clinically precise of the three. Refuses to operate on abstractions — requires a real question asked at a real moment by a real querent. Reads: what is the trajectory of this specific matter through human hands?

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.
