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

scope 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 5d 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.

Scope Rules — Build the Minimum Functional App

Golden Rule: Small and Working > Big and Broken

A small app that works perfectly is ALWAYS better than a big app with broken features. Your goal is to impress the user with a polished, functional experience — not to overwhelm them with stub screens.

Screen Limits

  • Default to 1–2 screens maximum unless the user explicitly asks for more.
  • Pick only the MOST CRITICAL features that make the app functional.
  • If the user mentions specific features, build those and ONLY those.

Examples

User says Build Do NOT build
"notes app" list + editor (2 screens) folders, tags, search, sharing, trash, settings
"music app" library list + now playing (2 screens) browse, radio, search, social, lyrics
"TikTok clone" scrollable video feed (1 screen) discover, create, inbox, profile, comments
"weather app" current weather + forecast (1 screen) hourly breakdown, maps, alerts, settings
"todo app" task list with add/complete (1 screen) categories, due dates, recurring, sharing
"chat app" conversation list + chat (2 screens) contacts, settings, profile, media gallery

Quality Over Quantity

  • Every screen MUST be fully functional — real navigation, real data flow, real interactions.
  • Do NOT create stub/placeholder views that show "Coming soon" or "TODO".
  • Do NOT create empty tab views just to fill a TabBar.
  • Prefer fewer polished screens over many incomplete screens.
  • Build EXACTLY what the user asked for, nothing more. User intent is king.

Feature Scoping

  • When the user asks for an "app clone" (e.g., "TikTok clone", "Spotify clone"), build the ONE defining feature that makes that app recognizable, not every feature the real app has.
  • The defining feature of TikTok is the vertical video feed. The defining feature of Spotify is the music library + player. The defining feature of Instagram is the photo feed.
  • Additional features can be added later via edit requests — that's what the edit flow is for.

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.
