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

document-assist 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 8d 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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Application Document Assistance

Preconditions

  • Read ../../memory.md first.
  • If the application profile is missing, first suggest that the user run cv-analyze, or fill in the necessary background directly in this round before continuing.

Language Rules

  • Support three output modes: zh, en, and bilingual.
  • If the user explicitly specifies the document language, prioritize the current request.
  • Otherwise read preferred_language from memory.md.
  • If it is still unclear, prioritize the official commonly used language of the target program.
  • If the user requests bilingual output, default to one main draft language version plus one shortened counterpart version or outline, rather than repeating the entire document paragraph by paragraph.

Optional Linkage: Life Science Research

  • If the user's application direction clearly falls under life sciences / biomedical research, and the document needs real research background support, life-science-research can be linked first before drafting.
  • This is especially suitable for the following document tasks:
    • research-proposal
    • cases where research fit needs to be written clearly
    • cases that require future directions, problem significance, or dataset / pathway / target context
  • The linkage result can be used to:
    • supplement research background
    • refine a more specific research question
    • organize literature / dataset / target / disease context
    • avoid documents that stay at the level of vague interest statements
  • If the current task is only language polishing, word-count reduction, tone adjustment, or structure adjustment, and the user has already provided complete content, do not trigger that linkage.

Identify the Document Type

If the user does not specify it, default to sop. Supported types:

  • sop
  • motivation
  • research-proposal
  • recommendation-draft

Material Collection

For document tasks, do not start writing immediately; first fill in the minimum required materials:

  • target program and school
  • target professor / lab group, if any
  • experiences that must be included
  • application motivation
  • short-term / long-term goals after graduation
  • word-count or formatting requirements

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.
