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

rayfin rush.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 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.

1. Configuration Files

2. Subspaces

Rayfin uses four subspaces for isolated dependency management:

  • default: SDK packages (@microsoft/rayfin-* under packages/typescript-sdk/)
  • rayfin-cli: CLI, MCP, docs tooling, package-doc projects, and E2E tests (@microsoft/rayfin-cli, rayfin-cli-e2e, @microsoft/create-rayfin, @microsoft/rayfin-mcp, @microsoft/rayfin-docs, @microsoft/rayfin-guide, @microsoft/rayfin-host-docs, @microsoft/rayfin-tools-common)
  • samples: Sample apps (todo-app, eshop, events-app under samples/)
  • docs: Docusaurus site (docs/site)

Each subspace has independent pnpm-lock.yaml and common-versions.json in common/config/subspaces/<name>/.

3. Project Categories

Projects organized under projectFolderMaxDepth: 3:

  • packages/typescript-sdk/: SDK packages (auth, client, core, data, functions, storage, lib)
  • packages/tools/: CLI, MCP, docs library, and shared tooling (cli, cli-e2e, create-rayfin, mcp, docs-lib)
  • packages/guide/, packages/host-docs/: package-owned docs discovered through the rayfinDocs package.json convention
  • samples/: Sample applications (not published)
  • docs/site/: Docusaurus documentation site (Contributor tooling, not published)

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.
