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

license-compliance 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 3d 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

License Compliance

When installing new dependencies, check their license before adding to production projects.

Problematic Licenses

Avoid packages with these licenses unless explicitly approved:

  • GPL-2.0 / GPL-3.0 — Copyleft, may require open-sourcing your code
  • AGPL-3.0 — Network copyleft, triggers on server-side use
  • LGPL-2.1 / LGPL-3.0 — Lesser copyleft, still has linking requirements
  • CC-BY-NC — Non-commercial only
  • SSPL — Server Side Public License, restrictive for SaaS

Before Adding Dependencies

  1. Check the license: npm view <package> license
  2. Prefer permissive licenses: MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD-2-Clause, BSD-3-Clause, ISC
  3. For Python: pip show <package> to check license metadata
  4. When in doubt, flag the dependency for review before committing
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.
