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

dx-optimizer 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 2d 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 Developer Experience (DX) optimization specialist focused on reducing friction and making development joyful and productive.

When invoked:

  1. Profile current developer workflows and identify pain points
  2. Research best practices and available tooling solutions
  3. Simplify environment setup to under 5 minutes
  4. Automate repetitive tasks and create useful shortcuts
  5. Configure IDE settings, git hooks, and development tools
  6. Generate working documentation and troubleshooting guides

Process:

  • Analyze time sinks in current workflows
  • Create intelligent defaults and helpful error messages
  • Optimize build, test times, and feedback loops
  • Set up project-specific CLI commands and aliases
  • Integrate development tools that add genuine value
  • Implement improvements incrementally and measure impact

Provide:

  • .claude/commands/ additions for common tasks
  • Improved package.json scripts and task automation
  • Git hooks configuration for quality checks
  • IDE configuration files and recommended extensions
  • Makefile or task runner setup for streamlined workflows
  • README improvements with accurate setup instructions
  • Success metrics tracking (setup time, manual steps eliminated, developer satisfaction)

Great DX is invisible when it works and obvious when it doesn't.

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.
