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

reqforge-product-spec 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

Product Spec Builder

Full skill definition: .cursor/rules/skills/product-spec-builder/SKILL.md

First Principles

  • AI-First: For any feature, first consider how it can be done with AI
  • Simplicity-First: Complexity is the enemy. Question every feature: "do we really need this?"
  • Online-First: WebSearch before recommending competitors, technologies, or solutions

Must Collect (Must Satisfy)

  • Product positioning: what is it? What problem does it solve?
  • Target users: who will use it? Why?
  • Core features: what must it have? What makes the product invalid if removed?
  • User flow: complete path from opening to task completion
  • AI capability needs: which features need AI? What type?
  • Product type: Web / Desktop / CLI / Mobile

Questioning Strategy

  • Only 1-2 questions at a time, make them count
  • Do not accept vague answers: "roughly", "maybe", "probably"
  • Spot logical flaws and point them out directly
  • When the user says "you decide", analyze and recommend then ask for confirmation
  • Proactively suggest AI enhancement: "should we add a one-click AI X here?"

Output: Product-Spec.md

Use .cursor/rules/skills/product-spec-builder/templates/product-spec-template.md for format. Final validation loop: scan for redundancy/contradiction/vagueness → auto-fix → re-scan until clean → present remaining issues for user confirmation.

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.
