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

seo-technical 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.

Technical SEO Audit

Categories

1. Crawlability

  • robots.txt: exists, valid, not blocking important resources
  • XML sitemap: exists, referenced in robots.txt, valid format
  • Noindex tags: intentional vs accidental
  • Crawl depth: important pages within 3 clicks of homepage
  • JavaScript rendering: check if critical content requires JS execution
  • Crawl budget: for large sites (>10k pages), efficiency matters
AI Crawler Management

As of 2025-2026, AI companies actively crawl the web to train models and power AI search. Managing these crawlers via robots.txt is a critical technical SEO consideration.

Known AI crawlers:

Crawler Company robots.txt token Purpose
GPTBot OpenAI GPTBot Model training
ChatGPT-User OpenAI ChatGPT-User Real-time browsing
ClaudeBot Anthropic ClaudeBot Model training
PerplexityBot Perplexity PerplexityBot Search index + training
Bytespider ByteDance Bytespider Model training
Google-Extended Google Google-Extended Gemini training (NOT search)
CCBot Common Crawl CCBot Open dataset

Key distinctions:

  • Blocking Google-Extended prevents Gemini training use but does NOT affect Google Search indexing or AI Overviews (those use Googlebot)
  • Blocking GPTBot prevents OpenAI training but does NOT prevent ChatGPT from citing your content via browsing (ChatGPT-User)
  • ~3-5% of websites now use AI-specific robots.txt rules

Example — selective AI crawler blocking:

# Allow search indexing, block AI training crawlers
User-agent: GPTBot
Disallow: /

User-agent: Google-Extended
Disallow: /

User-agent: Bytespider
Disallow: /

# Allow all other crawlers (including Googlebot for search)
User-agent: *
Allow: /

Recommendation: Consider your AI visibility strategy before blocking. Being cited by AI systems drives brand awareness and referral traffic. Cross-reference the seo-geo skill for full AI visibility optimization.

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.
