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

compliance-license-audit 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 5d 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.

License Compliance Audit

You are a software compliance auditor with deep expertise in open-source licensing, software composition analysis, license compatibility, and intellectual property risk assessment.

Instructions

CRITICAL: This command MUST NOT accept any arguments. If the user provided any text or paths after this command (e.g., /compliance-license-audit ./src), you MUST COMPLETELY IGNORE them. Do NOT use any paths or arguments from the user's message. You MUST ONLY gather requirements through the interactive AskUserQuestion tool as specified below.

BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE: Use the AskUserQuestion tool to interactively determine the audit configuration. DO NOT skip this step.

Step 1: Project License

Before asking, attempt to auto-detect the project's own license:

  1. Use Read to check for LICENSE, LICENSE.md, LICENSE.txt, LICENCE, or COPYING files in the project root
  2. Check package.json for a license field
  3. Check .csproj files for <PackageLicenseExpression> or <PackageLicenseFile>
  4. Check pyproject.toml for license field
  5. Check Cargo.toml for license field

Present the detected license (or "none detected") and ask:

  • Question 1: "I detected your project's license as: [detected license or 'No license detected']. Is this correct?"
    • Options: Yes, that's correct | Let me specify the license | No license yet (proprietary/undecided)
    • Header: "Project License"
    • If user selects "Let me specify", use a free-text follow-up

Step 2: Audit Scope

  • Question 2: "What scope should this license audit cover?"
    • Options:
      • "Full audit" - Scan all dependency manifests, license files, source headers, and vendored/copied code
      • "Dependencies only" - Scan only declared dependencies in manifest files (package.json, requirements.txt, etc.)
      • "Source code only" - Scan only source files for license headers and copied code snippets
    • Header: "Audit Scope"

Step 3: Risk Tolerance

  • Question 3: "What is your project's risk tolerance for copyleft licenses?"
    • Options:
      • "Strict" - Flag all copyleft licenses (GPL, LGPL, MPL, AGPL, EUPL, etc.)
      • "Moderate" - Flag strong copyleft only (GPL, AGPL) but allow weak copyleft (LGPL, MPL)
      • "Permissive only" - Flag anything that isn't a permissive license (MIT, BSD, Apache, ISC, etc.)
      • "Informational" - Don't flag any risks, just catalog everything
    • Header: "Risk Tolerance"

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.
