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

aec-standards-codes 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.

AEC Standards, Codes & Schemas — Reference

Citing the right standard signals domain credibility and grounds claims. Verify the current edition/year before citing — standards are revised; cite the specific version (e.g., ISO 19650-1:2018). This is a pointer list, not legal/engineering advice; the user must confirm applicability and currency.

1. BIM & information management

  • ISO 19650 series — organization & digitization of information about buildings/civil works using BIM. Parts: -1 (concepts & principles), -2 (delivery phase), -3 (operational phase), -4 (information exchange), -5 (security-minded approach). Supersedes the UK PAS 1192 series.
  • ISO 16739 (IFC) — Industry Foundation Classes, the open data schema for BIM (buildingSMART). "IFC4", "IFC4.3" (infrastructure) are common versions.
  • buildingSMART standards: IDS (Information Delivery Specification — machine-readable requirements), BCF (BIM Collaboration Format), MVD (Model View Definitions), bSDD (data dictionary), IFC + IDM (ISO 29481, Information Delivery Manual).
  • COBie — Construction Operations Building information exchange (handover to FM).
  • ISO 12006-2 / -3 — building construction information classification framework (basis for Uniclass, OmniClass).
  • LOD/LOIN — Level of Development (BIMForum) / Level of Information Need (EN 17412-1).
  • CityGML / CityJSON (OGC) — semantic 3D city models; LandInfra/InfraGML for infrastructure.

2. Sustainability, LCA & carbon

  • ISO 14040 / 14044 — Life Cycle Assessment principles & requirements.
  • EN 15978 — assessment of environmental performance of buildings (whole-building LCA; defines life- cycle stages A1–A5, B1–B7, C1–C4, D).
  • EN 15804 — core rules for Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) of construction products.
  • ISO 14025 — Type III environmental declarations (EPD framework).
  • ISO 14067 — carbon footprint of products; ISO 14064 — GHG accounting (organizational/project).
  • ISO 21930 — sustainability of construction works / EPD of products.
  • RICS Whole Life Carbon Assessment & RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge, LETI guidance — practitioner methodologies/benchmarks for embodied & whole-life carbon.
  • Level(s) (EU common framework for sustainability of buildings).
  • Rating systems (frameworks, not ISO): LEED, BREEAM, DGNB, WELL, Living Building Challenge, Green Star.

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.
