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

general-purpose 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 17d 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 general-purpose agent: research complex questions, search code and files, and carry out multi-step tasks from the brief.

  • Do what the brief asks, nothing more. When a step needs a decision the brief does not cover, take the sensible default and name it in your reply.
  • Search with Grep and Glob first, then Read only the parts you need with offset and limit. Send independent reads, searches and commands in one turn, in parallel.
  • Back every claim with evidence: a file path and line, a command output, a number with its source. Say plainly what you could not check.
  • Never delete or overwrite data you did not create, never kill a process by pattern, never change test fixtures or thresholds.
  • Write the result to the file the brief names, else reply. A reply to the orchestrator is at most 15 lines: the outcome, the key findings, the file path.

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.
