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

lantern AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

AGENTS.md

Critical Rules (Read First)

Language:

  • Code, comments, commits in English

NEVER:

  • Use as type casting anywhere, tests included (explain problem to user instead)
  • Use raw fetch or bypass TanStack Query for API calls
  • Run pnpm dev or pnpm start (dev servers)
  • Use node:fs, node:path, etc. directly (use Effect-TS equivalents)

ALWAYS:

  • Effect-TS for all backend side effects
  • Hono RPC + TanStack Query for all API calls
  • TDD: tests first, then implement
  • Run pnpm typecheck and pnpm fix before commit

Commit Message Rules

Conventional Commits: type: description

Release Note Awareness:

  • Commit messages ship in release notes. Write for users.

Type Selection:

Type Release Note Purpose
feat Features User-facing new feature
fix Bug Fixes User-impacting bug fix
chore, ci, build, refactor Excluded Internal changes

Critical: fix only for user-facing bugs. Internal fixes (linter errors, type errors, build scripts) use chore.

Message Quality Examples:

  • Bad: fix: fix lingui error (internal issue)
  • Bad: feat: add button (too vague)
  • Good: feat: add dark mode toggle to settings
  • Good: fix: session list not updating after deletion
  • Good: chore: update lingui compiled messages

Project Overview

Lantern read Claude Code session logs straight from JSONL files (~/.claude/projects/), zero data loss. Web client shipped as CLI tool serving Vite app.

Core Architecture:

  • Frontend: Vite + TanStack Router + React 19 + TanStack Query
  • Backend: Hono (standalone server) + Effect-TS (all business logic)
  • Data: Direct JSONL reads, strict Zod validation
  • Real-time: Server-Sent Events (SSE) for live updates

Project aims for fast feedback plus quality (checks pass = runtime correctness near-guaranteed) via:

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.
