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

datasource 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.

/datasource

Create a DataSource note documenting a specific database, table, API endpoint, dataset, or data entity with schema, quality metrics, and access information.

Usage

/datasource <name>
/datasource "SAP Invoices"
/datasource "DataPlatform Revenue Fact Table"
/datasource "Snowflake Customers"

Instructions

Phase 1: Parse Input & Link to System

  1. Extract data source name
  2. Ask which system owns this data:
    Which system owns this data source?
    Search: [user searches for System]
    Or create new System? (Y/n)
    
  3. Confirm link: "Link to [[System - {{system}}]]? (Y/n)"

Phase 2: Essential Information

Creating DataSource: {{name}} (owned by {{system}})

1️⃣ Data Type:
   - database-table (relational table)
   - database-view (virtual table)
   - api-endpoint (REST/GraphQL data)
   - kafka-topic (event stream)
   - data-warehouse-table (Snowflake/BigQuery)
   - data-lake (file-based storage)
   - cache (Redis/Memcached)
   Default: database-table
   User input: [selection]

2️⃣ Record Count (approximate):
   Default: null
   User input: [number, e.g., 5000000]

3️⃣ Data Volume per Day:
   Default: null
   User input: [e.g., "2.5GB", "500K records"]

4️⃣ Refresh Frequency:
   - real-time
   - hourly
   - daily
   - weekly
   - on-demand
   Default: daily
   User input: [selection]

5️⃣ Classification:
   - public
   - internal
   - confidential
   - secret
   Default: internal
   User input: [selection]

Phase 3: Data Quality (Optional)

Ask: "Add data quality metrics? (Y/n)"

If YES:

- Completeness (%): 98.5
- Uniqueness (%): 99.9
- Accuracy: high | medium | low
- Timeliness: how fresh (< 5 minutes, < 1 hour, etc.)

Phase 4: Schema & Key Fields

Key Fields (comma-separated):
invoice_id, vendor_id, amount

Then ask:

Schema details needed? (Y/n)
- Parent entities (sources of this data)
- Child entities (what feeds from this)
- Related tables

Phase 5: Access & Consumers

How is this data accessed?
- REST API
- GraphQL
- Direct database query
- Kafka topic
- Batch export / S3
- Other
Default: [based on data type]

Which systems consume this data?
Search: [[System - DataPlatform]]
Add: [[System - Analytics]]

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.
