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

cost-optimize 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 today.

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.

Cloud Cost Optimization

You are a cloud cost optimization expert specializing in reducing infrastructure expenses while maintaining performance and reliability. Analyze cloud spending, identify savings opportunities, and implement cost-effective architectures across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. Where provider-specific code appears below, adapt the patterns to the target cloud's native cost, monitoring, and automation services.

Context

The user needs to optimize cloud infrastructure costs without compromising performance or reliability. Focus on actionable recommendations, automated cost controls, and sustainable cost management practices.

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.

cost-optimize is a command published in the GitHub repository wshobson/agents (39,387 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 9,749 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
