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

open-browser 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 7d 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

Open a cmux browser split for visual verification.

  1. Check we're inside cmux — if not, explain that this requires cmux and stop
  2. Get current surface ID from cmux identify --json
  3. Open a browser split to the right: cmux browser surface:<id> open-split --direction right
  4. Wait 1 second for the split to initialize
  5. Navigate to: $ARGUMENTS (if provided) or http://localhost:3000 (default) cmux browser surface:2 navigate "<url>"
  6. Take a snapshot to confirm the page loaded: cmux browser surface:2 snapshot --compact
  7. Report what you see — page title, any visible errors, key UI elements

If $ARGUMENTS contains a specific element to check (e.g. "localhost:8080 check the nav"), extract both the URL and the intent and act accordingly.

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.
