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

best-practices 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 10d 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.

Xpoz Best Practices

Overview

Xpoz is a social media intelligence platform providing access to Twitter/X, Instagram, Reddit, and TikTok data through 48 MCP tools — no social media API keys required.

When to Use

Load this skill for any Xpoz interaction — not just when the user explicitly asks about best practices. It provides the context needed to use Xpoz tools correctly:

  • Calling any Xpoz MCP tool (query syntax, field selection, response modes)
  • Setting up authentication or tracking
  • Troubleshooting errors or empty results
  • Choosing which tool to use for a specific task

Quick Start

The Xpoz MCP server should already be configured by the plugin. If not, run /xpoz:getting-started.

See references/authentication.md for detailed auth flows and troubleshooting.

Query Syntax

All keyword search tools support boolean query syntax:

Operator Example Effect
Exact phrase "machine learning" Matches exact phrase
OR "AI" OR "artificial intelligence" Matches either term
AND "Tesla" AND "earnings" Matches both terms
Grouping ("deep learning" OR "neural network") AND python Combines operators

Date filtering: Use startDate / endDate in YYYY-MM-DD format. Omit to use defaults (varies by tool).

Content filtering (Twitter only): Set filterOutRetweets: true to exclude retweets.

Forbidden in query string: from:, to:, lang:, since:, until:, filter: — use dedicated parameters instead.

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.
