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

050-writing-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 6d 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

Writing style rules

  • Never use emoji in responses, code, comments, commit messages, docs, or diagrams unless the user explicitly asks for them.
  • Do not use em dashes or en dashes in generated prose. Use ASCII punctuation instead: comma, colon, semicolon, hyphen, or parentheses.
  • Apply the rule to everything you write: chat responses, documentation, skill files, Mermaid diagram labels, and code comments.
  • Exceptions: verbatim quotes of existing content, strings pinned by validators or tests, and files whose established style already uses these characters. When editing such files, keep existing characters and apply the rule only to new text.
  • If the user requests a cleanup of existing emoji or dashes, propose the diff first and confirm the validation command in backbone.yml still passes.
  • Plain-language register in every reply language: lead with the outcome, keep sentences short with one idea each, prefer active voice and concrete verbs, put known information before new information, and define project terms at first use.
  • Reuse the project's vocabulary from the glossary named in backbone.yml project.context when present instead of rotating synonyms. When replying in English, keep one meaning per word (ASD-STE100-style simplicity); never apply English-only word lists to other languages.
  • Reply in the user's conversation language; quote code identifiers, commands, file paths, and error text verbatim in every language. When a message does not land, the user can invoke /wait-what for a plain-language re-pitch.

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.
