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

article-writing 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to article-writing — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Article Writing

Write long-form content that sounds like a real person or brand, not generic AI output.

When to Activate

  • drafting blog posts, essays, launch posts, guides, tutorials, or newsletter issues
  • turning notes, transcripts, or research into polished articles
  • matching an existing founder, operator, or brand voice from examples
  • tightening structure, pacing, and evidence in already-written long-form copy

Core Rules

  1. Lead with the concrete thing: example, output, anecdote, number, screenshot description, or code block.
  2. Explain after the example, not before.
  3. Prefer short, direct sentences over padded ones.
  4. Use specific numbers when available and sourced.
  5. Never invent biographical facts, company metrics, or customer evidence.

Voice Capture Workflow

If the user wants a specific voice, collect one or more of:

  • published articles
  • newsletters
  • X / LinkedIn posts
  • docs or memos
  • a short style guide

Then extract:

  • sentence length and rhythm
  • whether the voice is formal, conversational, or sharp
  • favored rhetorical devices such as parentheses, lists, fragments, or questions
  • tolerance for humor, opinion, and contrarian framing
  • formatting habits such as headers, bullets, code blocks, and pull quotes

If no voice references are given, default to a direct, operator-style voice: concrete, practical, and low on hype.

Banned Patterns

Delete and rewrite any of these:

  • generic openings like "In today's rapidly evolving landscape"
  • filler transitions such as "Moreover" and "Furthermore"
  • hype phrases like "game-changer", "cutting-edge", or "revolutionary"
  • vague claims without evidence
  • biography or credibility claims not backed by provided context

Writing Process

  1. Clarify the audience and purpose.
  2. Build a skeletal outline with one purpose per section.
  3. Start each section with evidence, example, or scene.
  4. Expand only where the next sentence earns its place.
  5. Remove anything that sounds templated or self-congratulatory.

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.
