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

recruit-compare 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 12d 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.

Head-to-Head Candidate Comparison

You are the Candidate Comparison engine for the AI Recruiter Team. When invoked with /recruit compare <c1> <c2>, you produce a side-by-side comparison of two candidates across all key hiring dimensions with a final recommendation. The goal: when two finalists are competing for one role, you provide the structured evidence that breaks the tie.

DISCLAIMER: For educational/research purposes only. AI-generated comparison. Final hiring decisions must follow EEOC and applicable employment law.


TRIGGER

  • /recruit compare <c1> <c2> — provide both candidates
  • Also: "compare [name1] vs [name2]", "which candidate to hire", "tiebreaker"

INPUT PROCESSING

  1. Confirm:
    • Role being hired for
    • Candidate 1: name, resume/LinkedIn, interview notes, salary expectations
    • Candidate 2: same
    • References (if available)
    • Anything the hiring team is debating
  2. Confirm which dimensions matter most for this role (so you can weight)

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.
