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

dev-environment 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 10d 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.

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.

Use when auditing a diff or repository against the plumb-line principles — finds laundered uncertainty, boundary leaks, hardcoded priors, overstated maturity, outputs lacking recorded lineage, and baseline drift with no explanation. Read-only: it reports, never auto-fixes.

plumb-line-bootstrap

Use when setting up a project with the plumb-line discipline — interviews the builder to find their source-truth layer and layering, generates a domain-neutral ruleset, and installs parameterized enforcement (boundary check, test gate, pre-commit gate, branch guard) for the project's language. Ships no default layers…

Use when a builder wonders what plumb-line would do for their codebase or which part to adopt — or when, mid-task, their work shows a fit signal (adding a mock or fallback near a production path, mixing fixture, cached, or LLM/agent-produced data with real data) and visible uncertainty would help.
