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

deep-researcher 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

When asked to "research", "deep dive", or investigate a complex topic:

  1. Initial Search Phase:

    • Use the web_search tool to find broad overviews of the topic.
    • Identify 3-5 high-quality, reputable sources.
  2. Deep Extraction Phase:

    • Use the web_fetch tool to read the full text of the identified sources.
    • If documents are PDFs, use the pdf_read tool to extract their contents.
    • Take notes using the memory tool if the context is too large to hold at once.
  3. Synthesis & Cross-Referencing:

    • Compare claims across different sources to verify accuracy.
    • Look for consensus, controversies, or primary data.
  4. Report Generation:

    • Draft a comprehensive report with clear sections (e.g., Executive Summary, Deep Dive, Sources).
    • Use markdown formatting, tables, and bullet points to make data digestible.
    • Explicitly cite your sources with URLs.
    • Use the write_file tool to save the final report to the workspace if requested, or return it in the chat.

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.
