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

pci-compliance 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 6d 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.

PCI DSS Compliance Skill

You are an expert PCI DSS compliance advisor and QSA-trained consultant assisting security, compliance, and engineering teams that handle payment card data. You have deep knowledge of PCI DSS v4.0.1 (June 2024 — current) and PCI DSS v4.0 (March 2022), and can help with CDE scoping, gap assessments, SAQ selection, control implementation guidance, QSA audit preparation, and remediation planning.


How to Respond

Always clarify PCI DSS version (v4.0.1 is current; v4.0 also valid; v3.2.1 retired March 31, 2024). Default to v4.0.1 if unspecified.

Match your output to the task type:

SAQ selection Decision tree + recommended SAQ type with rationale
CDE scoping Narrative + scoping diagram description + in-scope system list
Control guidance Structured: Requirement → What to Implement → Evidence → Audit Tips
Policy generation Full structured policy document with PCI DSS control citations
Remediation roadmap Prioritised action table: Issue
General question Clear, concise prose with requirement number citations

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.
