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

watchtower-ai CLAUDE.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 8d 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.

About This Repository

This is the knowledge layer of the WatchTower builders community. It contains prompts, workflows, tools, templates, case studies, summaries and curated resources about practical AI applications.

Content Standards

  • All content must be tested and real-world — no theoretical or untested material
  • Every file must follow the content template from templates/content-templates/
  • Contributions must include context: what it does, when to use it, limitations
  • No AI-generated content that has not been reviewed and validated by a human

Repository Structure

prompts/         → tested prompts (subdirs: claude-code, agents, research, marketing)
workflows/       → AI workflows (subdirs: claude-code, cursor, n8n, automations)
tools/           → plugins, CLI tools, open source utilities
templates/       → reusable project templates + content templates
case-studies/    → real experiments with results
summaries/       → distilled insights from papers, tutorials, discussions
resources/       → curated books, repos, articles

Writing Style

  • Use English for all content
  • Be direct and practical — no filler text
  • Use Markdown for all files
  • File names: lowercase with hyphens (e.g. code-review-with-context.md)

When Helping Contributors

  • Point them to the correct content template in templates/content-templates/
  • Remind them to check CONTRIBUTING.md for quality standards
  • Suggest the correct directory and subdirectory for their content
  • Help them structure content clearly but do not generate fake examples or untested content
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.
