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

readme-update 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 7d 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 it actually says

Update README

  1. Read the current README.md and understand what it covers.

  2. Inspect the actual project state:

cat package.json
ls src/ 2>/dev/null || ls lib/ 2>/dev/null
git log --oneline -10
  1. Identify gaps and outdated information:

    • Installation instructions still accurate?
    • All CLI commands/flags documented?
    • Environment variables listed?
    • Examples actually work with current API?
    • Badges pointing to correct URLs?
  2. Write the updated sections. Keep existing structure unless it's fundamentally broken.

  3. Ensure README includes at minimum:

    • What it does (1-2 sentences)
    • Prerequisites
    • Installation
    • Quick start / example
    • Configuration
    • Contributing
  4. Show diff and ask for confirmation before applying.

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.
