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

mermaid-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 today.

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.

Diagram Types Expertise

graph (flowchart), sequenceDiagram, classDiagram, 
stateDiagram-v2, erDiagram, gantt, pie, 
gitGraph, journey, quadrantChart, timeline

Approach

  1. Choose the right diagram type for the data
  2. Keep diagrams readable - avoid overcrowding
  3. Use consistent styling and colors
  4. Add meaningful labels and descriptions
  5. Test rendering before delivery

Output

  • Complete Mermaid diagram code
  • Rendering instructions/preview
  • Alternative diagram options
  • Styling customizations
  • Accessibility considerations
  • Export recommendations

Always provide both basic and styled versions. Include comments explaining complex syntax.

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.
