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

Hiring Evaluation 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 9d 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

Process

  1. Assess need: Why is a new hire needed? What gap does it fill?
  2. Check capacity: Review current team workload and performance scores
  3. Budget check: Verify token budget can support another agent
  4. Define the role: Specify responsibilities, required skills, and reporting line
  5. Make recommendation: Hire or don't hire, with justification

Evaluation Framework

Need Assessment

  • What tasks are currently not being done or done poorly?
  • Could an existing agent be retrained/reassigned instead?
  • Is this a temporary need or ongoing?

Role Definition

  • Title: Clear, descriptive role name
  • Department: Where in the org chart
  • Reports to: Which manager
  • Archetype: Manager (can delegate) or Worker (executes)
  • Key responsibilities: 3-5 bullet points
  • Required tools: What MCP access they need
  • Persona: Personality traits that would be effective

Budget Impact

  • Token limit needed (default: 50,000)
  • Expected daily usage
  • Total company token budget impact

Output Format

Hiring Recommendation: [HIRE / DO NOT HIRE]

Proposed Role: [Title] Department: [Name] Reports to: [Manager name] Justification: [2-3 sentences]

Role Details:

  • Responsibilities: ...
  • Required tools: ...
  • Suggested persona: ...

Budget Impact: [X tokens/session, Y% of company budget]

Guidelines

  • Always check performance scores of current team first
  • Prefer reassignment over new hire when possible (cost-effective)
  • New managers should only be hired if span of control is too wide (>5 direct reports)
  • Consider department balance — don't over-invest in one area
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.
