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

DMCA Takedown 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.

DMCA Takedown

Purpose

Produce a structured draft notice or counter-notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notice-and-takedown framework, or evaluate a notice received against the user's content. This skill operates in two modes:

  • Mode A — Preparing a Takedown Notice: the user owns or controls a copyright and wants to notify a platform or host to remove allegedly infringing content.
  • Mode B — Evaluating a Received Notice and Considering a Counter-Notice: the user has received a takedown notice and wants to understand it and assess whether a counter-notice is appropriate.

This is draft legal work product for attorney review. It is NOT legal advice. Sending a takedown notice or counter-notice has legal consequences; counsel should review before any notice is submitted.

Use When

  • A user says "someone is using my [image/video/code/article] without permission" and wants to have it removed from a platform.
  • A user wants to draft a DMCA notice to send to a hosting provider, platform, or ISP.
  • A user has received a takedown notice and wants to understand what it means or whether to file a counter-notice.
  • A user asks whether they have a copyright claim against content appearing online.
  • A user needs to understand the required elements of a valid DMCA notice or counter-notice.

Required Inputs

For Mode A (Preparing a Takedown Notice):

  • Description of the copyrighted work (title, type, date of creation or publication, and where the original can be found).
  • The user's ownership or authorization basis (original author, rights holder, authorized agent — specify which).
  • The URL or specific location of the allegedly infringing material.
  • The platform or service provider receiving the notice, and its designated DMCA agent contact if known.
  • The user's contact information (name, address, email, phone) for inclusion in the notice.

For Mode B (Evaluating a Received Notice):

  • The full text of the received takedown notice.
  • The user's description of the content that was taken down or flagged.
  • The user's basis for believing the content is lawful (ownership, license, fair use, other).

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.
