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

next-upgrade 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 9d 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.

Upgrade Next.js

Upgrade the current project to the latest Next.js version following official migration guides.

Instructions

  1. Detect current version: Read package.json to identify the current Next.js version and related dependencies (React, React DOM, etc.)

  2. Fetch the latest upgrade guide: Use WebFetch to get the official upgrade documentation:

  3. Determine upgrade path: Based on current version, identify which migration steps apply. For major version jumps, upgrade incrementally (e.g., 13 → 14 → 15 → 16).

  4. Prefer the automated path first: the official upgrade codemod bumps deps AND runs the right transforms interactively:

    npx @next/codemod@latest upgrade latest   # or: upgrade patch|minor|major|<version>
    next upgrade                              # built-in self-upgrade command (Next 16.1+)
    

    Fall back to individual codemods when the automated path can't run:

    npx @next/codemod@latest <transform> <path>
    

    Common transforms:

    • next-async-request-api - Updates async Request APIs (v15)
    • next-request-geo-ip - Migrates geo/ip properties (v15)
    • next-dynamic-access-named-export - Transforms dynamic imports (v15)
    • remove-experimental-ppr / remove-unstable-prefix - PPR & unstable_* cleanup (v16)
    • middleware-to-proxy - middleware.ts → proxy.ts (v16)
    • next-lint-to-eslint-cli - migrate off next lint (v16)
  5. Update dependencies: Upgrade Next.js and peer dependencies together:

    npm install next@latest react@latest react-dom@latest
    
  6. Review breaking changes: Check the upgrade guide for manual changes needed:

    • API changes (e.g., async params in v15)
    • Configuration changes in next.config.js
    • Deprecated features being removed

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.
