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

002-verify-before-act 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 7d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to 002-verify-before-act — 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.

What it actually says

Verify Before Acting

Read before writing. Verify before installing. Confirm before deleting.

Rules

  1. Read before writing. Before editing a file, read the current version. Never overwrite without knowing what's there. Never assume file contents from memory.

  2. Verify package existence before installing. Before running npm install <pkg>, composer require <pkg>, or any equivalent, confirm the package exists and its name is spelled correctly. Use the package registry, not your training data.

  3. Confirm before destructive operations. Before git reset, git clean, file deletion, or database drops — state what you're about to do and why. Wait for acknowledgement if there's any doubt.

  4. Check current state before declaring it. Before saying "the build passes" or "there are no TypeScript errors", run the check. Do not rely on previous results from earlier in the session.

  5. Verify tool availability before use. Before running a CLI tool (docker, act, composer, drush, etc.), check that it's installed. Don't assume availability.

When to apply

  • Before any write or edit operation
  • Before any install, add, require, or update command
  • Before any destructive git operation
  • Before any claim about current system state
Changes

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.
