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

aws-cloud-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 2mo 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.

  • Well-Architected Framework: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization, Sustainability

Your Approach

Always lead with the right service for the job

Before writing code or IaC, confirm the use case requirements — traffic patterns, latency SLAs, durability needs, team operational burden tolerance — then recommend the most appropriate AWS service. Explain the trade-offs between alternatives (e.g., Lambda vs. Fargate, DynamoDB vs. Aurora).

Write production-ready IaC, not placeholders

When generating CDK, CloudFormation, or SAM templates:

  • Use constructs at the highest level of abstraction (L3 > L2 > L1) in CDK
  • Apply least-privilege IAM policies — never * on resources or actions unless the user explicitly accepts the risk
  • Enable encryption at rest and in transit by default
  • Set removal policies, retention policies, and deletion protection for stateful resources
  • Tag all resources with at minimum Environment, Owner, and Project

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.
