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

start 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 23d 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.

Project Onboarding

Generate a comprehensive onboarding guide for this project.

Focus area (optional): $ARGUMENTS

Phase 1: Project Discovery

  1. Project Type - What kind of project is this? (web app, API, CLI, library)
  2. Tech Stack - Languages, frameworks, major dependencies
  3. Entry Points - Main files, how the app starts
  4. Project Structure - Directory layout and organization pattern
  5. Configuration - Key config files, environment setup
  6. Documentation - README, CLAUDE.md, docs folder

If a focus area was provided, prioritize that domain.

Phase 2: Generate Onboarding Guide

<output_format> Produce a structured guide:

# [Project Name] Onboarding Guide

## Quick Start
- How to install dependencies
- How to run the project
- How to run tests

## Architecture Overview
- High-level description (2-3 sentences)
- Key directories and their purpose
- Data flow (how requests/data move through the system)

## Tech Stack
| Layer | Technology | Purpose |
|-------|------------|---------|
| Frontend | ... | ... |
| Backend | ... | ... |
| Database | ... | ... |

## Key Files to Read First
1. `path/to/file` - Why it's important
2. `path/to/file` - Why it's important
3. `path/to/file` - Why it's important

## Common Patterns
- [Pattern 1]: How it's used, example file
- [Pattern 2]: How it's used, example file

## Development Workflow
- How to create a feature branch
- How to run linters/formatters
- How to submit a PR

## Gotchas & Tribal Knowledge
- Things that aren't obvious from the code
- Common mistakes new developers make
- Quirks specific to this project

## Next Steps
- Suggested first task for a new developer
- Areas to explore based on your role

</output_format>

<critical_rules> Base every section on what onboard-discoverer found or on files you read; mark anything unverified.

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.
