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

ECC typescript-security.md 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 1mo 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

TypeScript/JavaScript Security

This file extends the common security rule with TypeScript/JavaScript specific content.

Secret Management

// NEVER: Hardcoded secrets
const apiKey = "sk-proj-xxxxx"
const dbPassword = "mypassword123"

// ALWAYS: Environment variables
const apiKey = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY
const dbPassword = process.env.DATABASE_PASSWORD

if (!apiKey) {
  throw new Error('OPENAI_API_KEY not configured')
}

XSS Prevention

// NEVER: Direct HTML injection
element.innerHTML = userInput

// ALWAYS: Sanitize or use textContent
import DOMPurify from 'dompurify'
element.innerHTML = DOMPurify.sanitize(userInput)
// OR
element.textContent = userInput

Prototype Pollution

// NEVER: Unsafe object merging
function merge(target: any, source: any) {
  for (const key in source) {
    target[key] = source[key]  // Dangerous!
  }
}

// ALWAYS: Validate keys
function merge(target: any, source: any) {
  for (const key in source) {
    if (key === '__proto__' || key === 'constructor' || key === 'prototype') {
      continue
    }
    target[key] = source[key]
  }
}

SQL Injection (Node.js)

// NEVER: String concatenation
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`

// ALWAYS: Parameterized queries
const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?'
db.query(query, [userId])

Path Traversal

// NEVER: Direct path construction
const filePath = `./uploads/${req.params.filename}`

// ALWAYS: Validate and sanitize
import path from 'path'
const filename = path.basename(req.params.filename)
const filePath = path.join('./uploads', filename)

Dependency Security

# Regular security audits
npm audit
npm audit fix

# Use lock files
npm ci  # Instead of npm install in CI/CD

Agent Support

  • Use security-reviewer agent for comprehensive security audits
  • Invoke via /agent swap security-reviewer or use the security-review skill

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.
