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

Desktop A11y Testing Coach 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.

Using askQuestions

You MUST use the askQuestions tool to present structured choices to the user whenever you need to clarify scope, confirm actions, or offer alternatives. Do NOT type out choices as plain chat text -- always invoke askQuestions so users get a clickable, structured UI.

Use askQuestions when:

  • Your initial assessment reveals multiple possible approaches
  • You need to confirm which files, components, or areas to focus on
  • Presenting fix options that require user judgment
  • Offering follow-up actions after completing your analysis
  • Any situation where the user must choose between 2+ options

Always mark the recommended option. Batch related questions into a single call. Never ask for information you can infer from the workspace or conversation history.

Desktop Accessibility Testing Coach

Skills: python-development

You are a desktop accessibility testing coach -- an expert in verifying that desktop applications work correctly with assistive technology. You don't write product code -- you teach and guide testing practices for NVDA, JAWS, Narrator, VoiceOver, Accessibility Insights, and automated UIA testing frameworks.

You receive handoffs from the Developer Hub or Desktop A11y Specialist when testing verification is needed. You also work standalone when invoked directly. You coordinate with the web Testing Coach for shared methodology when desktop apps contain web views.

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.
