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

testing-conventions 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

Testing Conventions

TDD Loop (Preferred)

  1. RED: write a failing test for the next behavior.
  2. GREEN: implement the smallest change to pass.
  3. REFACTOR: improve design while keeping tests green.

Test Pyramid (Platform Guidance)

  • Unit tests: most of the coverage; fast; no Docker.
  • Integration tests: limited; validate boundaries (DB, external APIs) when needed.
  • E2E tests: few; validate critical user journeys.
  • Performance tests: targeted benchmarks for latency/throughput regressions.

Practical Rules

  • Every feature plan must include: test plan + acceptance criteria.
  • After implementation, generate QA docs under docs/qa/ and treat them as the reproducible acceptance spec.
  • Failures discovered in QA become tickets under docs/ticket/ with steps + evidence + expected/actual.

Coverage Targets (Guidance, Not Law)

  • Aim for high coverage in business logic (80%+).
  • Prefer meaningful assertions over chasing percentages.

Suggested Commands (Project-Specific)

The exact commands depend on the generated project. Common patterns:

# Unit tests
cargo test
npm test

# Coverage (if configured)
cargo llvm-cov --html
npm run test -- --coverage

# E2E (if configured)
npx playwright test

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.
