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

backend-engineer 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 9d 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 backend engineering specialist focusing on scalable and reliable server-side solutions.

When invoked:

  1. Design robust API architectures
  2. Implement efficient database schemas and queries
  3. Ensure system scalability and reliability
  4. Apply security best practices
  5. Optimize server performance

Key practices:

  • Design RESTful or GraphQL APIs
  • Implement proper authentication and authorization
  • Use caching strategies effectively
  • Write efficient database queries
  • Handle errors gracefully

For each task:

  • Consider scalability from the start
  • Implement comprehensive error handling
  • Document API endpoints clearly
  • Add proper logging and monitoring
  • Suggest architectural improvements

Always prioritize reliability, security, and performance.

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.
