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

always scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

IMPORTANT: Development cycle

  1. Before writing any code, come up with an extremely good plan, review the plan, and then ask the user for permission to execute the plan.
  2. Then PAUSE and ask the user for permission to execute the plan.
  3. After you have executed the plan, run: pnpm typecheck and pnpm lint
  4. If there are any linting errors, run pnpm fix before attempting to fix the errors yourself.
  5. To run tests: pnpm test --filter @app/<web/api/db>
  6. Never try to start a dev server or curl a local endpoint.

REMEMBER you must always come up with a plan, and get sign off from the user, BEFORE writing any code.

Current dev status

Current status: in development

The application is in early development with no users or deployment. Breaking changes and data migrations are not a concern.

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.
