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

kiso copilot-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 6d 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.

Project description

  • Kiso short description: Kiso is a publishing engine for Open Knowledge Format (OKF).

  • Kiso longer description: Kiso is a publishing engine that turns Open Knowledge Format (OKF) bundles into static websites for humans and AI agents.

  • Kiso complete description: Kiso is a publishing engine for the Open Knowledge Format (OKF). The project turns a folder of organized Markdown files into a navigable knowledge system. In the same way that Hugo turns Markdown files into a static website, Kiso aims to turn an OKF knowledge base into a structured, browsable, and usable documentation site. Kiso is also designed with AI usage in mind. Because the source remains structured Markdown, the knowledge base stays readable, versionable with Git, easy to review, and usable by AI agents. Kiso sits between two needs: simple text files for maintaining knowledge, and generated navigation for humans and tools to explore it.

  • Product analogy: Kiso is positioned as Hugo for Open Knowledge Format (OKF).

  • Open Knowledge Format description: Open Knowledge Format (OKF) is a way to structure knowledge using Markdown files enriched with metadata. The goal is to keep knowledge easy for humans to write and read, while making it structured enough for software tools and AI agents to understand, validate, connect, and reuse.

  • Open Knowledge Format (OKF) latest specification: /documentation/specs/okf_spec_version_0.2.md

Information

Kiso features

Kiso-cli (/applications/kiso-cli) is a command-line application with commands such as:

  • check: Validates the Markdown files in an OKF bundle and reports formatting or structural errors.
  • build: Generates a static website with HTML files alongside the original Markdown files.

Design principles

When generating code for this repository, always prioritize:

  1. simplicity
  2. readability
  3. beauty
  4. performance

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.
