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

17-canvas-first 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.

What it actually says

Canvas-first (entregas visuales)

Usá canvas (Cursor .canvas.tsx, o artifact equivalente del IDE) para artefactos analíticos grandes — no para cada respuesta estructurada.

Cuándo usar canvas

  • Auditorías, métricas, billing, comparativas con tablas o charts.
  • Planes de /orquestar o roadmaps con muchas fases.
  • Propuestas A/B con trade-offs extensos.
  • Señal: vas a poner 2+ tablas o 4+ secciones con headers en el chat.

Cuándo NO

  • Fixes de código, diffs, preguntas cortas, validación no-cómplice.
  • Entregables canónicos que viven en docs/ o PR.

Cursor

Leer ~/.cursor/skills-cursor/canvas/SKILL.md antes de escribir .canvas.tsx. Ubicación: canvases/ del workspace Cursor. Chat: 2–5 líneas + link al canvas.

Fallback

Sin canvas: markdown liviano (máx. 1 tabla, headers solo si 3+ secciones).

Delegación

Si el subagente entrega análisis grande y hay canvas: pedir .canvas.tsx (Cursor) o artifact nativo; chat solo resumen.

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.
