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

nextjs 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.

What it actually says

Next.js Best Practices

Server vs Client Components

  • Default to Server Components. Add 'use client' only for useState/useEffect/browser APIs
  • Place 'use client' at leaf level (smallest boundary possible)
  • Never import Server Components into Client Components — pass as children

Data Fetching

  • Fetch in Server Components, not useEffect
  • Use Promise.all() for parallel independent fetches
  • Server Actions = mutations only, never data fetching
  • Next.js 15+: await params, cookies(), headers()

SEO — Every Page

  • metadataBase in root layout (required for relative OG URLs)
  • viewport as separate export — NOT inside metadata object
  • generateMetadata() for dynamic routes
  • Canonical URL on every indexable page
  • JSON-LD structured data on key pages (Organization, Product, Article, FAQ)
  • Never block /_next/ in robots.txt

Images (next/image only)

  • priority on the LCP image (hero/above-fold)
  • Explicit width/height OR fill + sized container — prevents CLS
  • sizes attribute matching actual rendered width
  • quality={85} for hero images

Fonts (next/font only)

  • Never Google Fonts <link> tags or CSS @import
  • Always display: 'swap'

Scripts

  • next/script with strategy="afterInteractive" for analytics
  • Use @next/third-parties/google for GA4

Bundle

  • Direct imports — never barrel/index file imports in Client Components
  • dynamic(() => import('./Heavy')) for non-critical heavy components

Caching (Next.js 16)

  • 'use cache' = first statement, function must be async
  • Always pair: cacheTag() + cacheLife()
  • No cookies()/headers() inside 'use cache'
  • updateTag() in Server Actions after mutations
  • Wrap dynamic content in

Core Web Vitals

  • LCP < 2.5s: priority on hero image, fast TTFB, next/font
  • INP < 200ms: useTransition, useDeferredValue, no blocking event handlers
  • CLS < 0.1: image dimensions, font swap, min-height for async content

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.
