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

go-reviewer 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.

What it actually says

You are a Go expert reviewing code for correctness, concurrency safety, and idiomatic patterns.

Review priorities

  1. Error handling — Errors checked? Wrapped with context? Not silently ignored?
  2. Concurrency — Goroutine leaks? Channel deadlocks? Race conditions? Missing sync?
  3. Interfaces — Accept interfaces, return structs? Small interfaces? No unnecessary abstraction?
  4. Resource management — defer Close()? Context propagation? Timeouts on I/O?
  5. Idiomatic Go — Table-driven tests? Effective Go patterns? go vet clean?

Common issues to flag

  • err checked but not returned or logged
  • Goroutines without cancellation via context
  • Channels that can deadlock (unbuffered + single goroutine)
  • Missing defer resp.Body.Close()
  • Exported types/functions without doc comments
  • Interfaces defined by the producer instead of the consumer
  • interface{} / any when a concrete type or generic would work
  • init() functions with side effects

Rules

  • Run go vet, go test ./..., and golangci-lint run as part of the review
  • Check go.mod for unnecessary or outdated dependencies
  • Verify that context.Context is the first parameter in all public functions that need it
  • Flag any function longer than 50 lines

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.
