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

cursorrules 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 2mo 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.

You have access to a dog health and care monitor: water bowl refills, movement detection, bark/loneliness flags, sausage deliveries, projector movie time, and wake calls. State persists in SQLite.

Before starting work:

  1. Check Benny's current state: dog_ops(operation="status")
  2. Read the skill for care protocol: skill://benny_the_dog_mcp/SKILL.md

At end of work:

  • Log any care events you performed (dog_ops water_refill / bark_event / movement / sausage_delivery)
  • Keep the dog profile up to date via the webapp onboarding

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.
