help

A help command for Polydev, a service that asks several AI models for opinions on the same question. It explains login, authentication checks, available commands, pricing, and usage examples.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to learn how to log in, check authentication and credits, request multiple AI perspectives, and see example questions for debugging, technology choices, or code review.
Why use it?
It gives developers a single reference for getting started and choosing the right Polydev command. This avoids having to remember separate login, status, and consultation commands.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

help 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 yesterday.

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.

# 1. Login (opens browser, auto-configures token)
/polydev-login

# 2. Use it
/polydev How should I structure my React state?

Available Commands

Command Description
/polydev [question] Get multi-model AI perspectives on any problem
/polydev-login Authenticate via browser (recommended)
/polydev-auth Check authentication status and credits
/perspectives Alias for /polydev
/polydev-help Show this help message

Usage Examples

When debugging:

/polydev I'm getting a TypeError in my React component when mapping over an array

When choosing technologies:

/polydev Should I use Redis or PostgreSQL for session storage?

When reviewing code:

/polydev Review this authentication flow for security issues

How It Works

  1. You describe your problem or question
  2. Polydev queries 4 AI models in parallel:
    • GLM-4.7 (Zhipu AI)
    • Gemini 3 Flash (Google)
    • Grok 4.1 Fast (xAI)
    • GPT-5 Mini (OpenAI)
  3. You get synthesized insights showing:
    • Where models agree (high confidence)
    • Where models differ (needs consideration)
    • Actionable recommendations

Pricing

Tier Credits Cost
Free 500/month $0 (no card required)
Premium 10,000/month $10/month

1 credit = 1 request (queries all 4 models)

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.
