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

comment-style 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

Comment Style

Do not use decorative separator lines or box-drawing characters in code comments.

Bad:

// ============================================================
// Section Name
// ============================================================

Bad:

// --------------------------------------------------------
// Another section
// --------------------------------------------------------

Bad:

// ── Anvil-style vec_filter: multiset equality postcondition ──────────

Bad:

    // ========================================================================
    // f64 implementation
    // ========================================================================

Bad:

// ---

Good: Just a plain comment, no decoration.

// Section Name

Good: Doc comment.

/// Section documentation

Good: Full sentence.

// Anvil-style vec_filter using a multiset equality postcondition.

Decorative separators and box-drawing characters (─, ═, etc.) are acceptable in:

  • Log output
  • Terminal output
  • Markdown documentation
  • README files

But never in source code comments.

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.
