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

05-dependencies 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 9d 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

Dependency & Supply Chain Security

Adding Dependencies

  • NEVER add new dependencies without user approval.
  • When proposing, include: name, version, purpose, popularity, license, and known vulnerabilities.
  • Prefer well-established, widely-used packages.
  • Pin exact versions in lock files.
  • Verify package names carefully to avoid typosquatting.

Lock Files

  • NEVER delete or regenerate lock files without explicit approval.
  • Lock file changes must be reviewed carefully.
  • Resolve conflicts in lock files carefully — never simply regenerate.

Vulnerability Response

  • If you discover a known vulnerability, warn the user immediately.
  • Propose the minimal update needed to resolve it.
  • Never ignore or suppress vulnerability warnings.

Package Verification

  • Check that package sources match expected repositories.
  • Be suspicious of packages with very few downloads or very new publish dates.
  • Never install packages from URLs, git repos, or local paths without review.
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.
