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

contributing-for-apps 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.

What it actually says

Contributing to ArchiPy Apps

Changes and Commits

  • Keep changes focused on one purpose; do not mix unrelated refactors or lockfile churn.
  • Preserve pre-existing user changes.
  • Use conventional commit types: feat, fix, chore, docs, refactor, test, perf, ci.
  • Write concise imperative subjects; explain non-obvious reasons in the body.
  • Reference the app's issue tracker when applicable.

Branches and Pull Requests

  • Prefer short single-purpose branches such as feat/<topic>, fix/<topic>, or chore/<topic>.
  • Keep PRs/MRs reviewable. Describe what changed, why, and how it was tested.
  • Keep the description current when behavior changes during review.
  • Never include secrets, generated credentials, large artifacts, or unrelated changes.

Before Merge

Run the app's configured formatter, linter/type checker, targeted Behave/unit tests, and security checks appropriate to the change. Network adapters, auth, cryptography, uploads, and secret/config changes require security validation.

Do not update changelogs, versions, tags, or releases unless the app's policy or user explicitly requires it.

Changes

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.
