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

add-documentation 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 yesterday.

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

Purpose and inputs

Document the current code or feature. Follow .cursor/rules/base/docs.mdc and .cursor/rules/base/readme.mdc. Do not commit unless asked.

Steps

Write to the layer that owns the change:

Layer Role Update when
Technical docs (path in AGENTS.md) Architecture, ADRs, how-to Behavior, architecture, commands, conventions, or workflow changed
.cursor/rules Short constraints A convention the agent must not violate changed
Nearest README How to run this app/package; links only Scripts, setup, or package purpose changed

Inline comments only when the code is otherwise misleading. Do not copy MDX into rules or READMEs. Do not @-attach MDX.

  1. Identify the topic: Matching docs section, then existing topic page (create a page only if none fits)
  2. Write or patch MDX if the canonical explanation changed
  3. Patch README only for run/setup/scripts; link the MDX
  4. Patch the glob-matched .mdc only if a constraint changed

Verification

  • The owning docs layer matches the kind of change.
  • READMEs link to MDX instead of duplicating it.
  • No unsolicited commit.

Handoff

Report which files changed and which layers were intentionally left alone.

Changes

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.
