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

tech-radar 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.

Tech Radar: Stack Update Scanner

Checks for latest versions, breaking changes, deprecations, and security advisories across the user's core stack.

Core Stack to Monitor

Example only, replace with your own stack. The table below reflects one project's dependencies (a JS/TS stack). The skill detects your actual dependencies from the project manifest at runtime (package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, composer.json, etc., see the description); this table is just a fallback of well-known packages to watch.

Category Packages
Frontend nuxt, vue, next, react, tailwindcss, formkit, pinia
Backend @nestjs/core, express, fastify
Database prisma, @prisma/client, knex, better-auth
Testing vitest, @vue/test-utils, @testing-library/react
Mobile expo, react-native, nativewind
AI ai (vercel ai-sdk), @ai-sdk/openai, @ai-sdk/anthropic
CLI commander, chalk, ora, inquirer
Build typescript, tsup, turbo, vite
Cloud @aws-sdk/client-s3, @aws-sdk/client-ec2

Execution Steps

  1. Parse arguments: If user specified a package/framework, focus on that. Otherwise scan full stack.

  2. Check latest versions using WebSearch:

    • Search: "{package} latest version {current_year}"
    • Compare against currently installed version (check the project manifest: package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, composer.json, etc.)
    • Flag major version bumps (potential breaking changes)
  3. Check for breaking changes:

    • For major version bumps: search "{package} v{new_major} migration guide"
    • Summarize key breaking changes that affect our patterns
    • Cross-reference against known patterns in MEMORY.md
  4. Check security advisories:

    • Search: "{package} CVE {current_year}" or "{package} security advisory"
    • Flag any HIGH or CRITICAL severity issues
  5. Check deprecations:

    • Search: "{package} deprecated features {current_year}"
    • Note any APIs we currently use that are deprecated

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.
