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

development-workflow 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 21d 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.

Development Workflow Rules

Version Control

Branching Strategy

  • Feature Branches: Use feature branches for all new development
  • Main Branch Protection: Don't commit new changes to main branch
  • Conventional Commits: Use conventional commit style for all commits
  • Commit Frequency: Make commits for each feature/update

Commit Standards

# Conventional commit format
<type>(<scope>): <description>

# Examples
feat(api): add user authentication endpoint
fix(port): resolve port conflict in development
docs(readme): update installation instructions
refactor(models): extract user validation logic

Code Quality

Documentation Standards

  • Public Symbols: Docstrings on every public symbol
  • Self-Documenting: Expressive identifiers, minimal explanatory comments
  • Code Comments: Only when necessary, prefer clear code over comments

Error Handling

  • Explicit Handling: No uncaught exceptions
  • Error Messages: Clear, actionable error messages
  • Logging: Appropriate logging levels for debugging

Code Organization

  • Separation of Concerns: Models, repositories, routes, docs in separate packages
  • DRY Principle: Reuse abstractions and ship simplest working solution
  • KISS Principle: Keep it simple and straightforward

Development Environment

Python Projects

  • Virtual Environment: Ensure local venv exists; create if absent
  • Dependency Management: Use requirements.txt or pyproject.toml
  • Environment Isolation: Never use system Python for project dependencies

Database Standards

  • Default Database: PostgreSQL unless project rules specify otherwise
  • Connection Management: Proper connection pooling and error handling
  • Migrations: Version-controlled database schema changes

Shell Scripts

  • Commander.js: Use commander.js for CLI tools
  • Human-Friendly: Clear, helpful output with color coding
  • Error Handling: Graceful error handling and user feedback

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.
