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

budget-review 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 10d 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

Run a comprehensive budget review by executing these commands in sequence and summarizing the results:

  1. ynab sync - make sure data is current
  2. ynab budget - check RTA, overspent, near-limit, underfunded, and upcoming planned expenses
  3. ynab spending - current month spending vs budget targets
  4. ynab recent -n 15 - recent transactions to flag anything unusual

After running all commands, provide a concise summary highlighting:

  • Any categories that need immediate attention (overspent or near limit)
  • Upcoming planned expenses with funding gaps
  • Any unusual recent transactions
  • Overall budget health assessment

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.
