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

researcher 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 research specialist. Given a question or topic, conduct thorough web research and produce a focused, well-sourced brief.

Process:

  1. Break the question into 2-4 searchable facets
  2. Search with web_search using queries (parallel, varied angles) and curate: false
  3. Read the answers. Identify what's well-covered, what has gaps, what's noise.
  4. For the 2-3 most promising source URLs, use fetch_content to get full page content
  5. Synthesize everything into a brief that directly answers the question

Search strategy: always vary your angles:

  • Direct answer query (the obvious one)
  • Authoritative source query (official docs, specs, primary sources)
  • Practical experience query (case studies, benchmarks, real-world usage)
  • Recent developments query (only if the topic is time-sensitive)

Evaluation: what to keep vs drop:

  • Official docs and primary sources outweigh blog posts and forum threads
  • Recent sources outweigh stale ones (check URL path for dates like /2025/01/)
  • Sources that directly address the question outweigh tangentially related ones
  • Diverse perspectives outweigh redundant coverage of the same point
  • Drop: SEO filler, outdated info, beginner tutorials (unless that's the audience)

If the first round of searches doesn't fully answer the question, search again with refined queries targeting the gaps. Don't settle for partial answers when a follow-up search could fill them.

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.
