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-images scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

- `exiftool` -- EXIF/IPTC/XMP read/write (install: `sudo apt install libimage-exiftool-perl`)

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 445 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Image Optimization Analysis

Checks

Alt Text

  • Present on all <img> elements (except decorative: role="presentation")
  • Descriptive: describes the image content, not "image.jpg" or "photo"
  • Includes relevant keywords where natural, not keyword-stuffed
  • Length: 10-125 characters

Good examples:

  • "Professional plumber repairing kitchen sink faucet"
  • "Red 2024 Toyota Camry sedan front view"
  • "Team meeting in modern office conference room"

Bad examples:

  • "image.jpg" (filename, not description)
  • "plumber plumbing plumber services" (keyword stuffing)
  • "Click here" (not descriptive)

File Size

Tiered thresholds by image category:

Image Category Target Warning Critical
Thumbnails < 50KB > 100KB > 200KB
Content images < 100KB > 200KB > 500KB
Hero/banner images < 200KB > 300KB > 700KB

Recommend compression to target thresholds where possible without quality loss.

Format

Format Browser Support Use Case
WebP 97%+ Default recommendation
AVIF 92%+ Best compression, newer
JPEG 100% Fallback for photos
PNG 100% Graphics with transparency
SVG 100% Icons, logos, illustrations

Recommend WebP/AVIF over JPEG/PNG. Check for <picture> element with format fallbacks.

Recommended <picture> Element Pattern

Use progressive enhancement with the most efficient format first:

<picture>
  <source srcset="image.avif" type="image/avif">
  <source srcset="image.webp" type="image/webp">
  <img src="image.jpg" alt="Descriptive alt text" width="800" height="600" loading="lazy" decoding="async">
</picture>

The browser will use the first supported format. Global browser support (caniuse.com, checked 2026-09-28): AVIF about 95.4%, WebP about 96.8%. Re-check caniuse before quoting.

JPEG XL: Emerging Format

Third-party reporting and Wikipedia describe a Rust-based JPEG XL decoder as shipped in Chrome 145 stable (2026-02-10) behind the chrome://flags/#enable-jxl-image-format flag, not enabled by default; no Google-owned confirmation was retrieved in the fact pack. Because default support is not confirmed, it is not yet practical for production web delivery. Keep serving AVIF/WebP with JPEG fallback and monitor.

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.
