About the project

AI-DLC for Modernization Starter Packs is a collection of reusable project templates for applying an AI-driven development lifecycle to application modernization work. Each pack gives teams structured instructions, skills, and agent-tool configurations for use with several coding agents. The catalogue entries are components and tool registrations included in these packs.

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 B, and why

ecs-security scanned grade B 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 9d 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.

Cloud metadata endpointmediumServer-side request forgery

One request to 169.254.169.254 can return temporary IAM credentials.

- **Encryption** — EBS volumes and ephemeral storage encrypted (Fargate ephemeral storage is AES-256 encrypted by default on **platform version 1.4.0+**); CMK for ECR/EBS/logs under compliance regimes; **lock down IMDS f

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

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.
