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

ai-workshop workshop-content.instructions.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

Workshop content

  • Write for an attendee following the lab in order. Use plain, direct prose and make commands runnable as written.
  • Use zero-padded folder names in paths (Part 02 - ...) and unpadded part names in prose and headings (Part 2).
  • Check the root README.md before changing part names, ordering, duration, or prerequisites. Keep its schedule aligned with meaningful pacing changes.
  • When instructions create or modify a committed sample, update the corresponding snapshot in the same change. When snapshot behavior changes, update the README that teaches it.
  • Keep instructor-only rationale in docs/instructor/; attendee READMEs should contain only what attendees need to complete and understand the lab.
  • Validate changed Markdown using the commands and configuration in .github/workflows/markdownlint.yml and .github/workflows/link-check.yml.
  • Use the workshop-testing skill for a literal attendee walkthrough, snapshot reconciliation, or a workshop test report.
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.
