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

book.update_content 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 today.

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

  • Given the content of a book in the form of a markdown or tex file <TARGET> and a source file <SOURCE>, find and incorporate the changes from <SOURCE> into <TARGET>

  • The file <SOURCE> contains a header with the last version, in terms of Git hash and timestamp, of the material used to generate the current version of <TARGET>

    • E.g.,
      % git_hash=<GIT_HASH>, timestamp=<TIMESTAMP>
      % <SOURCE>
      
    • E.g.,
      % git_hash=f15bc6b9, timestamp=2026-07-15 14:41:12 EDT
      % book_springer/lectures_source/Lesson02.1_From_Data_Science_To_Decision_Science.txt
      
  • Find what changed in <SOURCE> from <GIT_HASH> to now, and modify <TARGET> to incorporate those changes

  • Follow the same style as <TARGET> (e.g., read the corresponding .claude/skills/*.rules.md)

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.
