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

country-australia 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 13d 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.

Country: Australia

Architectural code and regulatory reference for projects in any Australian state or territory. Activate this skill on any Australian city/state reference (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin), AUD currency, mention of "NCC"/"BCA"/"AS"/"AS/NZS"/"NatHERS"/"BASIX"/"Premises Standards", Green Star, or state acronyms (NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT, NT).


1. Regulatory Hierarchy

Australia operates as Archetype B (National Model + State Adoption) with Archetype E (Performance-Based) characteristics. The NCC is a single performance-based code adopted by each state's Building Act, with state-specific variations published as A1-A8 appendices.

1.1 Authority Stack

LEVEL 1 -- NATIONAL
  Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) -- publishes NCC; Federal-State joint
  Standards Australia -- publishes AS / AS/NZS standards
  Commonwealth Government:
    - Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) -- enforced by Australian Human Rights Commission
    - Disability (Access to Premises -- Buildings) Standards 2010 -- mirrors NCC
    - National Construction Code Strategy
  Australian Bureau of Statistics + IBM -- climate + earthquake data
  Geoscience Australia -- seismic + flood
  Bureau of Meteorology -- climate data

LEVEL 2 -- STATE / TERRITORY
  Each of 8 jurisdictions has:
    Building Act / Building Regulations
    Building Authority (regulator)
    Building Surveyors Registration body
    Planning system (separate from building)
  NSW: Department of Customer Service (Building Commissioner); Department of Planning
  VIC: Victorian Building Authority (VBA); Department of Transport and Planning
  QLD: Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC); Department of Energy + Public Works
  WA: Building Commissioner (Department of Mines + Industry Regulation + Safety -- DMIRS); Department of Planning, Lands + Heritage
  SA: Office of the Building Authority (now Construction Industry Training Board oversight); Plan SA
  TAS: Department of Justice -- Consumer, Building + Occupational Services
  ACT: Access Canberra (Environment, Planning + Sustainable Development)
  NT: Department of Infrastructure, Planning + Logistics

LEVEL 3 -- LOCAL
  Local Council (Council, Shire, Borough) -- often planning authority
    + Building Surveyor (private competition)
    + Council Planning Officer
  Fire + Rescue (state agency) -- consultation for performance solutions
  Environment Protection Authority (state) -- pollution

LEVEL 4 -- PROJECT
  Registered Building Surveyor -- assesses NCC compliance + issues Building Permit
  Registered Building Practitioner -- Architects (Architects Act + Board of Architects each state),
    Engineers (often via Engineers Australia chartered status)
  Fire Engineer (FPA Australia accredited) for Performance Solutions
  Access Consultant (AAAA accredited) for accessibility advice
  NatHERS Accredited Assessor for energy ratings (housing)
  Section J / Part J6 assessor for energy (commercial)

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.
