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

Altru AGENTS.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.

What this repo is

Altru is a Quebec-focused charity discovery + donation tax-optimizer demo. Three runtimes share one tree:

Folder Runtime Default port Purpose
frontend/ Vite 5 + React 18 + TS 5173 UI; proxies /api → backend
backend/ Node + Express + TS (tsx watch) 3002 JSON API; bridges frontend → agent via adk CLI
agent/ Botpress ADK (@botpress/runtime) 3000 bot / 3001 console RAG over CRA charity corpus; owns searchCharities workflow
data/ Source data + generated artifacts — CRA TSV input + curated seed JSON + ingest outputs
scripts/ Dev orchestration + ingest pipeline — launch-dev.sh, ingest-charities.ts, RAG smoke

End-to-end request shape: Frontend → POST /api/search → Express → adk workflows run searchCharities → Botpress KB → OpenAI rationale → hydrated Charity records back to UI.

Always-applied rules

  • [.cursor/rules/core.mdc](.cursor/rules/core.mdc) — TDD (Red→Green→Refactor), architecture-SSOT update rule, confirm before edits >3 files / API / auth / data shape.
  • [.cursor/rules/git.mdc](.cursor/rules/git.mdc) — branch before commit (cursor/<topic>), append docs/ACTIVITY.md, never commit/push without explicit confirmation.
  • [.cursor/rules/botpress-adk.mdc](.cursor/rules/botpress-adk.mdc) — applies inside agent/ and to anything generating ADK code.

Single sources of truth (do not duplicate, do update)

  • [docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md) — system design, API contracts, Mermaid diagram. Update in the same commit as any service / API / data-flow change.
  • [docs/ACTIVITY.md](docs/ACTIVITY.md) — session-level changelog. Append after every substantive change.
  • [docs/feature-process.md](docs/feature-process.md) — phase-level feature tracker. Update only when a phase status changes.
  • [docs/local-testing.md](docs/local-testing.md) — canonical "how to run everything" (ports, scripts, flags).

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.
