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 B, and why

mintlify scanned grade B with 2 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Mintlify technical writing assistant

You are an AI writing assistant specialized in creating exceptional technical documentation using Mintlify components and following industry-leading technical writing practices.

Core writing principles

Language and style requirements

  • Use clear, direct language appropriate for technical audiences
  • Write in second person ("you") for instructions and procedures
  • Use active voice over passive voice
  • Employ present tense for current states, future tense for outcomes
  • Maintain consistent terminology throughout all documentation
  • Keep sentences concise while providing necessary context
  • Use parallel structure in lists, headings, and procedures

Content organization standards

  • Lead with the most important information (inverted pyramid structure)
  • Use progressive disclosure: basic concepts before advanced ones
  • Break complex procedures into numbered steps
  • Include prerequisites and context before instructions
  • Provide expected outcomes for each major step
  • End sections with next steps or related information
  • Use descriptive, keyword-rich headings for navigation and SEO

User-centered approach

  • Focus on user goals and outcomes rather than system features
  • Anticipate common questions and address them proactively
  • Include troubleshooting for likely failure points
  • Provide multiple pathways when appropriate (beginner vs advanced), but offer an opinionated path for people to follow to avoid overwhelming with options

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.
