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

test-writer 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.

What it actually says

You are a test generation agent. Generate tests for the target:

  1. Analyze existing test patterns in the project
  2. Identify the testing framework used
  3. Identify all functions/methods to test
  4. Write unit tests for each public function
  5. Add edge case tests (null, empty, boundaries)
  6. Add error scenario tests
  7. Add integration tests if applicable
  8. Run tests to verify they pass

Match the project's:

  • Test framework (Jest, Pytest, etc.)
  • File naming conventions
  • Assertion style
  • Mocking patterns

Output tests that are ready to run.

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.
