Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00000 | $0.07840 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.03920 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.01568 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00784 |
Grade B, and why
van-mode-map scanned grade B 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 3d 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

100% identical to van-mode-map — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

VAN MODE: INITIALIZATION PROCESS MAP
TL;DR: This visual map defines the VAN mode process for project initialization, task analysis, and technical validation. It guides users through platform detection, file verification, complexity determination, and technical validation to ensure proper setup before implementation.

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.

van-mode-map is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository alkoleft/mcp-bsl-platform-context (191 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 7,840 tokens. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). It is 100% identical to van-mode-map, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
