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 C, and why

md-language-check scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

When to use

Fire this skill before writing or saving any .md file under:

  • src/ (source of truth — skills, rules, commands, guidelines, templates, contexts)
  • dist/agent-src/ (condensed projection)
  • .augment/ (local agent projection)
  • agents/ (project-specific roadmaps, contexts, sessions)

Per language-and-tone § ".md files are ALWAYS English" and § Detection heuristic, every .md file in those trees must be English. Bilingual content lives only in labeled DE: … · EN: … anchor blocks.

Do NOT use when:

  • Editing project content outside the trees listed above (READMEs of consumer projects, application docs that follow a different policy)
  • Reviewing chat history files (agents/runtime/.agent-chat-history is JSONL, not .md)
  • Inspecting non-.md files — the checker rejects them with a warning

Procedure

1. Identify the file(s) about to be saved

Collect the absolute or repo-relative path of every .md file the agent is about to create or modify in this turn. Multiple files in one turn → pass them all to a single invocation.

2. Run the checker

./scripts-run src/scripts/check_md_language <path> [<path> …] [--format json]

Exit codes:

  • 0 → no German content detected, save proceeds
  • 1 → violations found, save is blocked until they are resolved or explicitly suppressed
  • 3 → internal error (unreadable file, decode failure)

3. Resolve findings

For every violation:

Kind Likely cause Fix
umlaut German prose leaked into body text Translate the sentence to English
de_word German function word in unquoted prose Translate; or move into a DE: … · EN: … block if intentional bilingual anchor

If the line is meta-documentation that must quote German tokens (e.g. the detection heuristic in language-and-tone.md itself), append <!-- md-language-check: ignore --> at the end of that single line — never as a wholesale silencer.

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.

md-language-check is a skill published in the GitHub repository event4u-app/agent-config (10 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 1,250 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-04.
