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

citeclaw 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.

Repository Guidelines

Project Structure & Module Organization

Citoid is a Node.js service with a flat top-level layout.

  • server.js: service entrypoint (service-runner, launched via Bun script).
  • app.js: Express app initialization, middleware, route loading, and config defaults.
  • routes/: API route handlers (citoid, info, root).
  • lib/: core business logic (citation pipeline, Zotero integration, translators, external API adapters).
  • test/: Mocha test suites by area: features/app, features/errors, features/scraping, features/unit, zotero.
  • config.dev.yaml, config.prod.yaml, config.yaml: runtime configuration.
  • .pipeline/ and dist/: CI/container build configuration and packaging artifacts.

Build, Test, and Development Commands

Use npm with Node.js 20 or 22.

  • npm install: install dependencies.
  • npm run start: run via service-runner using config.yaml.
  • npx citeclaw <args>: run CLI from npm.
  • npm run test: lint + core feature suites.
  • npm run test:zotero: full test run including Zotero-heavy tests.
  • npm run coverage: run nyc coverage.
  • npm run lint / npm run lint:fix: enforce/fix ESLint rules.

Coding Style & Naming Conventions

  • Follow ESLint config wikimedia/server (.eslintrc.json).
  • Use tabs for indentation and single quotes in JS, matching existing files.
  • Prefer camelCase for variables/functions; keep existing class-style filenames in lib/ (for example CitoidService.js).
  • Route and translator files are typically lowercase (routes/info.js, lib/translators/crossRef.js).

Testing Guidelines

  • Frameworks: Mocha + Chai; nock for HTTP mocking; nyc for coverage.
  • Place tests near matching domains (test/features/unit/*, test/features/scraping/*, etc.).
  • Name tests by behavior or integration target (for example semantic-scholar-service.js, redirect.js).
  • Run npm run test before submitting; run npm run test:zotero when changing Zotero/translators/scraping flow.

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.
