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

ionic-appflow-migration 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 15d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ionic Appflow Migration

Replace each Appflow feature the project uses - Live Updates, native cloud builds, store deployment - and remove Appflow only after each replacement is verified.

Context: Ionic stopped selling Appflow in February 2025; existing customers keep access until December 31, 2027 with no new features. Plan the migration well before that date.

When to Use

TRIGGER when:

  • package.json has @capacitor/live-updates or cordova-plugin-ionic.
  • capacitor.config.* has plugins.LiveUpdates, or config.xml / Info.plist / strings.xml hold Appflow deploy keys (APP_ID, CHANNEL_NAME, UPDATE_METHOD, IonAppId, IonChannelName).
  • CI calls ionic deploy, appflow, ionic package build, or the Appflow dashboard triggers builds and store uploads.

Do not use for:

  • @ionic-enterprise/* plugins -> ionic-enterprise-sdk-migration.
  • Capawesome Cloud -> capawesome-live-update-migration.
  • Greenfield Capgo setup -> capgo-live-updates.

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.
