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

awesome-list-curator 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check-links.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Awesome List Curator

Turn a topic into a high-quality, well-formatted awesome list and ship it to GitHub.

When to Use

  • Bootstrapping a new awesome-<purpose> repo (no README yet).
  • Finding new tools/libraries/papers/datasets to add to an existing list.
  • Auditing a list for dead links, duplicates, or inconsistent formatting.
  • Preparing a clean PR that follows the awesome-list conventions.

Inputs to Confirm First

Before researching, establish:

  1. Purpose — the exact topic/scope (e.g. "techniques and tools that reduce LLM token usage").
  2. Categories — the top-level sections (see format spec). If unknown, propose 4–8 categories from initial research and confirm.
  3. Inclusion bar — minimum quality (e.g. maintained in last 12 months, >100 stars, peer-reviewed, or "notably influential"). Default bar in format spec.
  4. Repo target — owner/name and whether you are adding to your own repo (push) or contributing upstream (fork + PR).

Procedure

1. Plan the taxonomy

  • Run 2–4 broad discovery queries to learn the landscape (see discovery sources).
  • Draft the category tree. Keep categories mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive.
  • Confirm categories with the user before deep research — re-categorizing later is expensive.

2. Discover candidates

  • Work one category at a time. For each, query across all four source types in parallel: web search/fetch, GitHub repo search, arXiv, and cross-referencing peer awesome lists.
  • Capture for every candidate: name, canonical URL, one-line description, signal (stars/date/citations), category.
  • Collect generously now; filter in the next step. See discovery sources for query patterns.

3. Evaluate and filter

  • Apply the inclusion bar. Drop anything unmaintained, broken, off-topic, or a near-duplicate.
  • Prefer the canonical/original source over mirrors and aggregators.
  • Verify each surviving URL resolves (the publish step also runs check-links.sh).

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.
