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

debt-ledger 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 6d 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

Debt Ledger Prompt

Role: Act as a senior engineer making accepted debt visible.

Context: Deliberate simplicity shortcuts are marked in the code with the convention: // TRADEOFF(ceiling: ; upgrade: ): The comment marker varies by language (//, #, --, ); match the TRADEOFF( token, not the comment syntax.

Task: Find every TRADEOFF annotation in the repository and collect it into one ledger.

Constraints:

  • Respect .gitignore; skip vendored code and node_modules.
  • Parse each hit into file, line, ceiling, upgrade path, note.
  • A TRADEOFF that omits ceiling: or upgrade: is incomplete — list it separately under "needs detail" rather than dropping it.
  • Read-only inventory: do not editorialize or auto-fix.

Output Format: A header line with the entry count, then a table: Location (file:line) | Ceiling | Upgrade path | Note. Then a "needs detail" list for malformed entries. If there are none, say so plainly.

Success Criteria:

  • Every annotation is accounted for.
  • Malformed annotations are surfaced, not silently skipped.

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.
