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

escape-your-dead-end-job 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

Escape your dead-end job

Small, realistic upgrades — not “quit and become a founder.”

Tools

  • get_market_overview for current field vs 1–2 adjacent fields
  • search_jobs for step-up titles
  • get_job_details / get_job_keywords for top picks

Workflow

  1. Capture current title, pay vibe, what they hate (hours, boss, standing, customers, nights).
  2. Propose 3 exit ramps: same industry better employer, adjacent title, slightly different industry with transferable skills.
  3. Search live roles for each ramp near them / remote if needed.
  4. Rank by escape value vs risk.

Output

Stay slightly longer vs leave this month framing + concrete apply list.

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.
