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

fdf-validate-effective-artifacts 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 2mo 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

Task: $ARGUMENTS

Requirements:

  1. If $ARGUMENTS includes a specific path, validate that target artifact.
  2. If no path is provided, validate default/template artifacts and known repo-local defaults.
  3. Validate against schemas:
    • fdf/schemas/fdf-effective-matrix.schema.json
    • fdf/schemas/fdf-effective-instructions-bundle.schema.json
    • fdf/schemas/fdf-effective-instructions-compact.schema.json
    • fdf/schemas/fdf-effective-instructions-bundle-portable.schema.json
    • fdf/schemas/fdf-effective-instructions-compact-portable.schema.json
  4. Apply path/policy expectations from settings where relevant.
  5. Return a concise pass/fail report with concrete file paths and issues.

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.
