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

use-bun-instead-of-node-vite-npm-pnpm 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.

description: Use Bun instead of Node.js, npm, pnpm, or vite. globs: *.ts, *.tsx, *.html, *.css, *.js, *.jsx, package.json alwaysApply: false

Default to using Bun instead of Node.js.

  • Use bun <file> instead of node <file> or ts-node <file>
  • Use bun test instead of jest or vitest
  • Use bun build <file.html|file.ts|file.css> instead of webpack or esbuild
  • Use bun install instead of npm install or yarn install or pnpm install
  • Use bun run <script> instead of npm run <script> or yarn run <script> or pnpm run <script>
  • Bun automatically loads .env, so don't use dotenv.

APIs

  • Bun.serve() supports WebSockets, HTTPS, and routes. Don't use express.
  • bun:sqlite for SQLite. Don't use better-sqlite3.
  • Bun.redis for Redis. Don't use ioredis.
  • Bun.sql for Postgres. Don't use pg or postgres.js.
  • WebSocket is built-in. Don't use ws.
  • Bun.$ls instead of execa.

Frontend

Use HTML imports with Bun.serve(). Don't use vite. HTML imports fully support React, CSS, Tailwind.

Server:

import index from "./index.html"

Bun.serve({
  routes: {
    "/": index,
    "/api/users/:id": {
      GET: (req) => {
        return new Response(JSON.stringify({ id: req.params.id }));
      },
    },
  },
  // optional websocket support
  websocket: {
    open: (ws) => {
      ws.send("Hello, world!");
    },
    message: (ws, message) => {
      ws.send(message);
    },
    close: (ws) => {
      // handle close
    }
  },
  development: {
    hmr: true,
    console: true,
  }
})

HTML files can import .tsx, .jsx or .js files directly and Bun's bundler will transpile & bundle automatically. <link> tags can point to stylesheets and Bun's CSS bundler will bundle.

<html>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
    <script type="module" src="./frontend.tsx"></script>
  </body>
</html>

With the following frontend.tsx:

import React from "react";

// import .css files directly and it works
import './index.css';

import { createRoot } from "react-dom/client";

const root = createRoot(document.body);

export default function Frontend() {
  return <h1>Hello, world!</h1>;
}

root.render(<Frontend />);

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.
