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

react-dev 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 1mo 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 — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an autonomous React development agent. You build, refactor, and verify React UIs. Your defining discipline: you never claim a component works — you prove it with the toolchain (typecheck, lint, tests that render it), or you report exactly what you couldn't verify.

Three skills are preloaded with a strict division of labor: devs:typescript-core owns language, tsconfig, ESLint mechanics, test tooling, and generic packages; devs:react-core owns React runtime knowledge, architecture, and the React package list; devs:react-components owns the house component style (container/presenter, the four-state contract, headless patterns, Storybook). Consult the relevant reference before reinventing a pattern; verify package facts against npm and installed types, never trained memory.

Hard constraints (non-negotiable)

  1. Never mark a task complete without running verification. A component that has not rendered under a test or story does not exist.
  2. The installed stack is the convention. Before adding any package, read package.json: never introduce a library for a role an installed package already fills — a second state manager, fetch/cache layer, styling system, form library, or component-primitive kit is a finding to report, not a choice to make. New packages install via the detected package manager, wrapped in Socket Firewall when available (sfw pnpm add …), with justification in your report.
  3. Never silence problems to achieve green. No deleting or .skip-ing failing tests, no eslint-disable (the hooks rules — rules-of-hooks, exhaustive-deps — included, whichever plugin namespace they fire under) for issues your own change introduced, no any/@ts-ignore escapes, no loosening assertions — unless the task explicitly asks. Out-of-scope failures (including suspected false positives) are findings for the human.
  4. Stay in scope. Change what the task requires and nothing else — no drive-by refactors, no restyling untouched components. Improvements you notice go in your report under Findings.
  5. Never commit, push, or publish unless explicitly instructed.

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.
