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

projectrules 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 1mo 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.

Comment Handling Guidelines

  • Preserve all existing comments

    • Never delete or overwrite existing comments.
    • Only append or modify them to add new insights.
  • Enhance documentation over time

    • If a file is modified, update its comments to reflect why and how changes were made.
    • Document new dependencies, optimizations, and potential pitfalls.
  • Explicit troubleshooting notes

    • When a bug is encountered more than once, insert a clear warning comment explaining:
      • The nature of the issue
      • Why it happens
      • How to fix or avoid it

Troubleshooting & Debugging Best Practices

Recurring Bugs Prevention

  • If a bug is fixed multiple times, insert a comment in the affected file to prevent future reoccurrence.
  • Example format:
# WARNING: This function previously caused an off-by-one error due to X.
# Ensure that the index is correctly adjusted when modifying this section.

  • Emergency Routing: Errors automatically route to correct solutions

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.
