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

prompt-update 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 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.

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.

Prompt Update and Maintenance Guide

This prompt provides a systematic approach to updating existing prompts, ensuring they remain current, standards-compliant, and effective while preserving their core value and functionality.

🎯 UPDATE OBJECTIVES:

  1. MAINTAIN prompt effectiveness while improving quality and compliance
  2. ALIGN with current standards and best practices
  3. PRESERVE core functionality and user familiarity
  4. ENHANCE user experience through targeted improvements
  5. ENSURE future maintainability and relevance

📋 PROMPT UPDATE PROCESS:

STEP 1: Current State Assessment

Prompt Analysis:
  • Current version - Document existing version and last update date
  • Usage patterns - How frequently is this prompt used and in what contexts?
  • User feedback - Any reported issues, confusion, or enhancement requests
  • Integration status - How well does it work with other prompts and rules?
  • Standards compliance - Compare against current standards documents
Quality Baseline Measurement:
  • Standards compliance score - Rate against docs/standards/standards-prompt.md
  • Content quality score - Assess clarity, completeness, usability
  • Technical accuracy - Verify information is current and correct
  • User experience score - Evaluate ease of use and effectiveness
  • Integration score - How well it works with current ecosystem
Change Requirements Identification:
  • Standards gaps - What doesn't meet current standards?
  • Outdated information - What technical details need updating?
  • Missing functionality - What should be added to improve effectiveness?
  • Usability issues - What causes confusion or poor user experience?
  • Integration problems - Where does it conflict with other prompts/rules?

STEP 2: Update Planning

Scope Definition:
  • Core preservation - What essential functionality must remain unchanged?
  • Enhancement opportunities - What can be improved without breaking existing usage?
  • Standards alignment - What specific standards compliance is needed?
  • Version impact - Will this be a patch (x.x.1), minor (x.1.x), or major (1.x.x) update?

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.
