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

twillm 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Working on twillm

This is the twillm project repo, not an end-user vault. twillm is a Node CLI that materialises a TiddlyWiki working directory (twillm-wiki/) in a user's repo and serves their Markdown vault as a live-watched TiddlyWiki.

End-user docs are in README.md. Architecture notes, design decisions, and the TODO list are in DEVELOPMENT.md. Read both before non-trivial changes.

Repo layout

  • cli.js — CLI entry point. Detects the user's vault, materialises twillm-wiki/, spawns TiddlyWiki.
  • template-wiki/ — the wiki template that gets copied into a user's twillm-wiki/ on first run. Edit here to change what users get.
  • vault/ — test fixture. Sample Markdown content used by npm start and npm run build.
  • handoff.md, README.md, CLAUDE.md — docs.
  • twillm-wiki/ — generated at runtime by npm start / npm run build. Gitignored. Don't commit.

Editing the test vault

The tiddlers in vault/ are demo content. Add to them when you want to exercise something live (rendering, watcher behaviour, link resolution). Same conventions a user would follow:

  • Markdown with YAML frontmatter
  • One tiddler per file: vault/<Title>.md
  • Frontmatter title should match filename
  • tags as YAML arrays: tags: [concept, multi word tag]
  • Don't include type — .md implies text/x-markdown and it round-trips out
  • created/modified are optional; if present they round-trip as ISO-8601 strings
  • Wiki links: [[Target Title]] or [[Display|Target Title]]

Editing template-wiki/

This is what users get. Be conservative — new files ship to everyone who runs npx github:Jermolene/twillm. Changes to existing files only reach fresh materialisations: files already present in a user's twillm-wiki/ are never overwritten.

  • template-wiki/tiddlywiki.info — wiki configuration. Plugins listed here are required of every user.
  • template-wiki/tiddlers/$__SiteTitle.tid, $__SiteSubtitle.tid — defaults users will probably override
  • template-wiki/tiddlers/$__config_SyncPollingInterval.tid — controls how often the browser polls. 2 seconds today.
  • template-wiki/tiddlers/vault-loader/tiddlywiki.files — overwritten at runtime by cli.js with the user's absolute vault path. Don't rely on its contents.

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.
