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

systems-architect 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 4d 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 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.

code-reviewer

Reviewer of finished code (not of proposals — for that, use @architect). Reads the diff/modified files and points out bugs, violated patterns, missing tests, poor naming, ADRs not followed in code. Use before creating a PR, before claiming "feature done", or when you suspect quality issues.

Lightweight security reviewer (not a professional pen-test). Focuses on the practical OWASP top 10, leaked secrets, input validation, auth bypass, cross-tenant authorization, basic LGPD. Use before a release, after a change to auth/permissions/storage, or when touching sensitive data.

Stack-agnostic senior architect. Reads the current project's CLAUDE.md + ADRs and reviews proposals/diffs against them. Does not write code — decides and justifies. Use when you need an architectural review before implementing, or to check whether a proposal violates an accepted ADR.

pattern-mapper

Maps a repo's code/architecture pattern in extreme detail and returns a structured map of the 4 axes (architecture, stack, design system, conventions), with evidence strength per item. Does NOT write ADRs or docs — only maps and returns the conclusion. Invoked by the /extract-pattern command.
