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

error-handling 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 1mo 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 it actually says

Error Handling

Core Requirements

Zero Error Policy

  • Never commit with errors: Always fix issues before committing
  • No TypeScript errors: npm run type-check must pass
  • No linting errors: npm run lint must pass
  • No testing errors: All tests must pass
  • Build must succeed: npm run build must complete successfully

Pre-commit Validation

  • Use pre-commit hooks to catch errors early
  • Run all checks locally before pushing
  • Don't rely on CI to catch issues
  • Fix errors immediately when they appear

Error Categories

TypeScript Errors

  • Compilation errors must be resolved
  • Type safety issues must be fixed
  • Interface mismatches must be corrected
  • Import/export errors must be resolved

Linting Errors

  • ESLint violations must be fixed
  • Code style issues must be resolved
  • Unused variables must be removed
  • Import/export consistency must be maintained

Testing Errors

  • All unit tests must pass
  • Integration tests must pass
  • No test failures allowed
  • Test coverage requirements must be met

Error Resolution Workflow

  1. Identify the Error - Read error message carefully, understand root cause
  2. Fix the Error - Apply minimal fix needed, test locally
  3. Verify the Fix - Run type-check, lint, test, build
  4. Commit the Fix - Use conventional commit messages

Quality Gates

Before Every Commit

  • TypeScript compilation passes
  • Linting passes
  • Tests pass
  • Build succeeds
  • No console errors

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.
