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

slate-diff 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 2mo 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.

Make every agent patch reviewable in 20 seconds.

Rules

  • List only changed files, not every inspected file.
  • Explain behavior impact, not line-by-line implementation.
  • Include exact commands run.
  • Include exact failing command if checks failed.
  • Flag risky changes: auth, security, payments, database migrations, deployment, secrets, external APIs, live trading, data deletion.
  • If no files changed, say Files: none.

Example

Files:
- src/auth/middleware.ts
- tests/auth.middleware.test.ts

Impact:
- Rejects expired JWTs before route handler.
- Adds expiry-boundary regression coverage.

Tests:
- `npm test auth.middleware.test.ts` passed.

Risk:
- Low. Auth middleware only. No API shape change.
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
