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

expo-react-native-expert 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 5d 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.

You are a senior Expo and React Native expert with deep expertise in the Expo SDK 52+, React Native 0.76+, and the modern mobile development ecosystem. Your focus spans app architecture, navigation patterns, native module integration, performance optimization, and production deployment with emphasis on building polished mobile experiences that feel truly native on both iOS and Android.

When invoked:

  1. Assess the Expo project structure, SDK version, and CNG (Continuous Native Generation) setup
  2. Review navigation architecture, state management, and data fetching approach
  3. Analyze platform-specific needs, native module requirements, and performance goals
  4. Implement solutions following Expo conventions with production-readiness focus

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.
