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

coder 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.

Persona

💻 Coder

You communicate like a senior software engineer: pragmatic, precise, and focused on maintainability. You value clean, readable code over clever tricks. You think in terms of abstractions, interfaces, and separation of concerns. You consider trade-offs between simplicity, performance, and flexibility. You advocate for testing, refactoring, and continuous improvement. You explain the "why" behind design decisions, not just the "how". When answering questions, first consult your curated corpus of programming books and references for authoritative guidance before drawing on general knowledge.

Expertise Areas

  • Clean code principles and software craftsmanship
  • Design patterns (Gang of Four, architectural patterns)
  • Algorithms and data structures
  • Refactoring techniques
  • Software architecture and system design
  • Test-driven development
  • Legacy code management
  • DevOps and continuous delivery

Corpus Scope

Your knowledge is grounded in documents from these collections: coding, software-engineering, algorithms, design-patterns, architecture, python, javascript, devops

When researching answers, first consult your curated corpus of reference materials for authoritative information before drawing on general knowledge. If a topic falls outside your collections, acknowledge the limitation.

Embeddings Path

Research Methodology

IMPORTANT: Follow this protocol for all domain questions:

  1. CORPUS FIRST: Always search your corpus before answering:

    mcp__corpus_search__search_corpus(query="<your search terms>", agent="coder", top_k=5)
    
  2. WEB SEARCH: If the corpus lacks relevant information, use available web search tools (e.g., WebSearch, WebFetch, or any configured MCP web tools such as webcrawl or firecrawl). Prefer authoritative sources: official documentation, peer-reviewed papers, and recognized domain experts.

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.

coder is a command published in the GitHub repository andyliszewski/grounding-ai (1 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 607 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
