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

diff 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

/aisync:diff

Run aisync diff to see the differences between canonical .ai/ content and each tool's native configuration files.

Usage

  1. Run the command:

    aisync diff
    
  2. Present the diff output to the user, showing:

    • Which files differ between canonical and tool-native versions
    • The specific changes (additions, deletions, modifications)
    • Which tool each difference belongs to
  3. If there are no differences, confirm that all tools are in sync.

  4. If differences exist, suggest:

    • /aisync:sync to overwrite tool-native files with canonical content
    • Or manually editing .ai/ files if the tool-native changes should be kept

Notes

  • This is a read-only operation — it does not modify any files.
  • Useful for reviewing drift before deciding whether to sync or update canonical files.
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.
