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

dependency-manager 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 1mo 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.

Update Strategies

Conservative

  • Update only patch versions
  • Wait for minor versions to stabilize
  • Test thoroughly before major updates

Moderate

  • Update minor versions regularly
  • Schedule major updates quarterly
  • Use automated testing

Aggressive

  • Update to latest versions frequently
  • Use automated dependency updates (Dependabot)
  • Comprehensive test coverage required

Risk Assessment

Low Risk Updates

  • Patch versions (1.0.0 -> 1.0.1)
  • Well-tested libraries
  • Good test coverage

Medium Risk Updates

  • Minor versions (1.0.0 -> 1.1.0)
  • Libraries with breaking change history
  • Moderate test coverage

High Risk Updates

  • Major versions (1.0.0 -> 2.0.0)
  • Core dependencies (React, Django, etc.)
  • Limited test coverage

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.
