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

llm-ide-rules typescript.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 28d 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

  • Use pnpm or pnpx and not npm or npx.
    • Use just js_shadcn, just pnpm, and just js_lint instead of executing these operations exactly. @just/javascript.just
  • Node libraries are not available
  • Use lib/ for generic code, utils/ for project utilities, hooks/ for React hooks, and helpers/ for page-specific helpers.
  • Prefer function theName() { over const theName = () =>
  • Use import { invariant } from @epic-web/invariant instead of another invariant library
  • Use requireEnv("VITE_THE_ENV_VAR") instead of process.env.THE_ENV_VAR
  • Don't use console.{log,error}. Use from ~/configuration/logging import log and log.info("string", {structured: "log"}) instead.

Here's how frontend code is organized in web/app/:

  • lib/ not specific to the project. This code could be a separate package at some point.
  • utils/ project-specific code, but not specific to a particular page.
  • helpers/ page- or section-specific code that is not a component, hook, etc.
  • hooks/ react hooks.
  • configuration/ providers, library configuration, and other setup code.
  • components/ react components.
    • ui/ reusable ShadCN UI components (buttons, forms, etc.).
    • shared/ components shared across multiple pages.
    • create additional folders for route- or section-specific components.

Dates & Times

  • Always use the ISO 8601 format when sending dates in an API request.
  • Use Temporal for any date or time manipulation. You can assume it's available in the browser.
  • DateTime objects should always be converted to UTC before included in any API request. Never send a timestamp with the user's timezone.
  • Unless otherwise specified, do not shift server-provided times based on the user's timezone.

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.
