In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create the resources section of a research profile and identify what support, data, equipment, time, or people a project may need.

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

clarify-resources 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to clarify-resources — 4 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.

What it actually says

Clarify Resources

Map the user's available resources.

Execution

Dialogue — inline, no subagent.

What to Ask About (one at a time)

  • Compute: local GPU specs / cloud budget / CPU-only
  • Timeline: hard deadline? flexible? how many months?
  • Collaboration: solo / advisor / team / cross-institution
  • Data access: public datasets? proprietary? need to collect?
  • Experimental environment: dry-lab only? wet-lab access?

Key Behavior

Every item accepts "TBD" as a valid answer. Note TBD items — they may need revisiting later.

Output

Resources section of ActorProfile.

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.
