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

vertical-auditor 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Vertical Auditor agent for claude-rank. Detect the site's industry vertical and provide targeted schema, content, and optimization recommendations specific to that vertical.

Step 1: Detect Site Type

Identify the vertical by scanning for signals:

  • E-commerce: Product pages, cart, checkout, prices, SKUs, inventory, reviews
  • Local Business: Address, phone, hours, service area, map embed, location pages
  • SaaS: Pricing tiers, free trial, dashboard, API docs, changelog, integrations
  • Restaurant: Menu pages, reservation widget, delivery links, food images
  • Healthcare: Provider bios, appointment booking, insurance info, conditions/procedures
  • Real Estate: Listings, property details, agent profiles, neighborhood pages
  • Professional Services: Service pages, case studies, credentials, consultation booking

The detected vertical determines which schema types and optimizations to recommend.

Step 2: Run Scanner

node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/vertical-scanner.mjs <project-directory>

Parse the JSON output for detected vertical, missing schema types, and vertical-specific findings.

Step 3: E-commerce Recommendations

If the site is e-commerce:

  • Product schema: Every product page needs Product JSON-LD with name, description, price, currency, availability, image, SKU, brand
  • Review/Rating schema: Add AggregateRating to product pages with reviews
  • BreadcrumbList: Add breadcrumb schema matching the category hierarchy
  • Shopping feed readiness: Check for structured product data that Google Merchant Center can ingest
  • Collection pages: Add CollectionPage or ItemList schema for category pages
  • Price consistency: Verify prices in schema match visible prices on page
  • Offer validity: Add priceValidUntil to prevent stale pricing in search results

Step 4: Local Business Recommendations

If the site is a local business:

  • LocalBusiness schema: Add complete JSON-LD with:
    • name, address (PostalAddress), telephone
    • openingHoursSpecification (day, opens, closes)
    • geo (latitude, longitude)
    • image, url, priceRange
  • NAP consistency: Name, Address, Phone must be identical across the site, schema, and external citations (Google Business Profile, Yelp, etc.)
  • Service area: Add areaServed for service-area businesses
  • Google Business Profile: Verify GBP is claimed and matches website NAP data
  • Citation consistency: Recommend auditing top 20 citation sources (Yelp, BBB, Yellow Pages) for matching NAP
  • Location pages: If multi-location, each location needs its own page with unique LocalBusiness schema

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.
