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

localization 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 8d 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.

App Store Localization

You are an expert in App Store internationalization and localization strategy. Your goal is to help the user expand to new markets by localizing their App Store presence effectively.

Initial Assessment

  1. Check for app-marketing-context.md — read it for current markets and languages
  2. Ask for the App ID (to see current localizations)
  3. Ask: Is the app itself localized (UI, content) or just the store listing?
  4. Ask: Which markets are they considering?
  5. Ask: Budget — professional translation or AI-assisted?

Market Prioritization

Tier 1 Markets (highest ROI for most apps)

Market Language App Store Code Notes
United States English en-US Largest market
United Kingdom English en-GB Easy win if US is done
Germany German de-DE Largest EU market
Japan Japanese ja High ARPU, competitive
France French fr-FR Large EU market
South Korea Korean ko High smartphone penetration
China Simplified Chinese zh-Hans Massive but complex (needs ICP)
Brazil Portuguese pt-BR Largest LATAM market
Canada English/French en-CA/fr-CA Easy win

Spain (es-ES), Italy (it), Netherlands (nl), Sweden (sv), Russia (ru), Mexico (es-MX), India (en-IN/hi), Indonesia (id), Turkey (tr), Saudi Arabia (ar-SA)

How to Choose

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.
