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

example-update-readme-taxonomy 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 4d 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.

Example Skill: Update README Taxonomy

Skill Purpose

Help an AI agent safely update the taxonomy and tool listings in README.md while preserving structure, style, and consistency with this repository's goals.

When to Use This Skill

  • You want to add, move, or remove tools from the main stack.
  • You need to introduce a new category or rename an existing one.
  • You are cleaning up descriptions to stay aligned with developer-focused, non-marketing language.

Inputs

  • change_intent: short description of what should change (e.g. "add NotebookLM to Enterprise Knowledge").
  • proposed_entries (optional): list of proposed Markdown bullets for new or updated tools.
  • target_section (optional): name of the target section or subsection in README.md.
  • constraints (optional): extra rules, e.g. "do not rename existing categories".

High-Level Workflow

  1. Inspect the current taxonomy and relevant sections in README.md.
  2. Build a clear, minimal change plan that matches change_intent.
  3. Apply edits in a way that preserves structure, style, and ordering.
  4. Re-scan the file to confirm consistency and formatting.

Detailed Agent Instructions

When this skill is invoked, follow these steps:

  1. Load README

    • Read README.md from the repo root.
    • Identify top-level sections (e.g. "Core Development", "Architecture", "Building & Orchestrating Agents").
  2. Understand the Intent

    • Parse change_intent into one or more concrete actions, such as:
      • Add a new tool entry.
      • Update the description of an existing tool.
      • Move a tool between categories.
      • Rename or add a category.
    • If proposed_entries is provided, treat them as suggestions; adjust wording to fit house style.
  3. Locate Target Section

    • If target_section is provided, match it to a heading in README.md (case-insensitive).
    • If not provided, infer the best section based on the tool's purpose using the existing taxonomy.
    • If no reasonable match exists, consider whether a new subsection is warranted and include that in your plan.

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.
