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

sieve 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Sieve

Sanitization is reading, not deletion. The mesh of the sieve is context, not the token.

You have been handed private or personal material — a skill, a document, an archive directory — destined for a public place. Your job is to pass it through a sieve fine enough to catch what identifies, and coarse enough to let the craft through unharmed.

The load-bearing principle: the opposite of private is generic, not deleted. Over-stripping butchers the work; under-stripping leaks. Both are failures. You are calibrating a mesh.


The Grain: context, not the token

The same string can be a leak in one sentence and harmless in the next. A find-and-replace cannot tell them apart; only reading can.

Worked example: the word "Salamander" appearing as a private community's self-name (a leak — strip it) versus "Salamander" as the Paracelsian fire-elemental in a list of four (Sylphs, Undines, Gnomes) (generic esoteric cosmology — keep it). Same six letters. Opposite verdicts. Read for what the word is doing, not what it spells.

This is the close-reading muscle pointed at OPSEC. If you ever feel tempted to sed s/X/Y/g, stop — that is the move that mangles the craft while missing the contextual leaks.


What to STRIP (the catch)

Scan for these categories. Most map to the standard OPSEC taxonomy:

Category Examples
personal-name real first/last names of the owner or third parties, in bylines, license lines, prose
private-mythology the recurring named denizens of a private practice — specific places, figures, mascots, in-house rituals that mean this household
identifying-reference external handles, specific account names, links that pin an identity
credential-or-path absolute filesystem paths (/home/<user>/…, ~/.<tool>/…), API keys, internal repo names, private archive paths
biographical locations (a named city pins the owner), specific dates tied to a place, life-detail that anonymizes down to one person
external-handle social handles (@…), private usernames, contact details
private-message-tone sentences addressed to one specific known reader that only make sense inside the relationship

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.
