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

wtfp-research-literature 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.

Research Literature for WTF-P

Create an auditable bridge from external scholarship to manuscript claims.

Select the action

  • Use research-gap to investigate the literature or domain knowledge needed by a section.
  • Use analyze-bib to characterize a bibliography and map references to the manuscript.
  • Use check-refs to reconcile in-text citations and bibliography records.

Read references/actions.md for the selected action before searching or writing.

Apply the evidence contract

  1. Resolve the project root and the exact section or bibliography in scope.
  2. Read project://manifest, project://decisions, project://structure/outline, existing source/evidence records, the section record, and its linked context before researching.
  3. Separate records found in project files from records obtained externally. Record provenance for every external source.
  4. Prefer primary publications and authoritative scholarly indexes. Use secondary summaries only for discovery or context.
  5. Verify title, authors, year, venue, persistent identifier, and claim relevance before recommending a citation.
  6. Never invent a reference, metadata field, quotation, finding, page number, or citation key. Label unverified candidates explicitly.
  7. Require approval before using a paid or external service when project safety settings demand it, and before editing or removing bibliography entries.
  8. Report search scope, evidence limits, conflicting findings, unresolved metadata, and the next writing action.

Preserve research artifacts

  • Store persistent section synthesis at project://sections/{section}/research and link it from the section record.
  • Store bibliographic identity and provenance in project://sources/{source} and claim-level interpretation in project://evidence/{evidence}.
  • Keep bibliography keys stable unless the author approves a migration and all references are updated together.
  • Back up a bibliography before applying approved repairs.
  • Do not claim a literature search is exhaustive unless the method, databases, dates, and stopping rule support that claim.

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.
