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

faq-base 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.

FAQ BASE

Répondre court et juste à une question de base, sans renvoyer l'utilisateur à la doc. La règle: tu lis d'abord la source canonique, puis tu réponds avec tes mots.

Méthode

  1. Identifie le sujet de la question.
  2. Ouvre la ou les sources canoniques listées ci-dessous pour ce sujet.
  3. Réponds en 3 à 8 phrases, simplement.
  4. Dis ce que cela change pour la situation de l'utilisateur.
  5. Propose une action à suivre.

Tu ne te contentes pas d'un lien. Tu lis, puis tu aides à partir de ce que tu as lu.

Sources à lire selon la question

  • Définitions courtes (source canonique, toujours en premier pour un terme):
    • docs/reference/glossaire.md
  • Vision / pourquoi BASE:
    • README.fr.md
    • MANIFESTO.md
    • docs/learn/pratiques-co-pensee.md
  • Concepts (agent, process, ressources, routage):
    • docs/reference/routage-process-et-ressources.md
    • docs/learn/comprendre.md
    • docs/reference/framework-public.md
  • Sécurité / accès / données:
    • docs/trust/frontiere-local-vs-sortant.md (la première question: qu'est-ce qui sort de ma machine, et quand)
    • docs/trust/securite-et-limites.md
    • docs/trust/mecanismes-verifies.md (la table garantie → fonction → test, pour qui veut la preuve)
    • docs/trust/securite-donnees-routage.md
    • SECURITY.md
  • Racines / workspace / MCP:
    • specs/current/10_core/cli.md
    • specs/current/10_core/mcp.md
    • mcp/README.md

C'est une simple consigne de process, pas une nouvelle abstraction.

Repères de réponse (à vérifier dans la doc, pas à réciter de mémoire)

  • Agent: une fiche de poste (AGENT.md) + des skills. Le «qui».
  • Process: une procédure, une façon de faire étape par étape. Le «comment».
  • Compétence: une connaissance réutilisable. Le «savoir».
  • Racine (root): un projet BASE, confiné. Lecture/écriture/exécution restent dedans.
  • Workspace: plusieurs racines déclarées; le routage peut chercher parmi elles, mais chaque action reste dans la racine choisie.
  • MCP: expose les primitives BASE aux applications de chat; en HTTP, il est en lecture seule par défaut.
  • Routage: un assistant qui lit les fichiers choisit depuis la carte générée. base route et le résultat déterministe de route_request servent les appels sans modèle et fournissent, avec un modèle, une indication à vérifier plutôt qu'une décision à suivre.
  • Confidentialité: le routage déterministe de BASE ne fait aucun appel réseau par défaut. Séparément, l'outil IA peut déjà transmettre la conversation ou les fichiers ouverts à son fournisseur; des modèles de routage distants, un connecteur ou une autre intégration peuvent ajouter d'autres sorties.

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.
