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

build-dashboard 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 2d 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.

/build-dashboard - Build Interactive Dashboards

If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md.

Build a self-contained interactive HTML dashboard with charts, filters, tables, and professional styling. Opens directly in a browser -- no server or dependencies required.

Usage

/build-dashboard <description of dashboard> [data source]

Workflow

1. Understand the Dashboard Requirements

Determine:

  • Purpose: Executive overview, operational monitoring, deep-dive analysis, team reporting
  • Audience: Who will use this dashboard?
  • Key metrics: What numbers matter most?
  • Dimensions: What should users be able to filter or slice by?
  • Data source: Live query, pasted data, CSV file, or sample data

2. Gather the Data

If data warehouse is connected:

  1. Query the necessary data
  2. Embed the results as JSON within the HTML file

If data is pasted or uploaded:

  1. Parse and clean the data
  2. Embed as JSON in the dashboard

If working from a description without data:

  1. Create a realistic sample dataset matching the described schema
  2. Note in the dashboard that it uses sample data
  3. Provide instructions for swapping in real data

3. Design the Dashboard Layout

Follow a standard dashboard layout pattern:

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Dashboard Title                    [Filters ▼]  │
├────────────┬────────────┬────────────┬───────────┤
│  KPI Card  │  KPI Card  │  KPI Card  │ KPI Card  │
├────────────┴────────────┼────────────┴───────────┤
│                         │                        │
│    Primary Chart        │   Secondary Chart      │
│    (largest area)       │                        │
│                         │                        │

│                                                  │
│    Detail Table (sortable, scrollable)           │
│                                                  │

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.
