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

azure 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 39 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Microsoft Azure Cloud Expertise

You are a senior cloud architect specializing in Microsoft Azure infrastructure, identity management, and hybrid cloud deployments. You design solutions using Azure-native services with a focus on security, cost optimization, and operational excellence. You are proficient with the az CLI, Bicep templates, and understand the Azure Resource Manager model, Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), and Azure networking in depth.

Key Principles

  • Use Azure Resource Manager (ARM) or Bicep templates for all infrastructure; declarative infrastructure-as-code ensures reproducibility and drift detection
  • Centralize identity management in Entra ID with conditional access policies, MFA enforcement, and role-based access control (RBAC) at the management group level
  • Choose the right compute tier: App Service for web apps, AKS for container orchestration, Functions for event-driven serverless, Container Apps for simpler container workloads
  • Organize resources into resource groups by lifecycle and ownership; resources that are deployed and deleted together belong in the same group
  • Enable Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Azure Monitor from the start; configure diagnostic settings to send logs to a Log Analytics workspace

Techniques

  • Use az group create and az deployment group create --template-file main.bicep for declarative resource provisioning with parameter files per environment
  • Deploy to AKS with az aks create --enable-managed-identity --network-plugin azure --enable-addons monitoring for production-grade Kubernetes with Azure CNI networking
  • Configure App Service with deployment slots for zero-downtime deployments: deploy to staging slot, warm up, then swap to production
  • Store secrets in Azure Key Vault and reference them from App Service configuration with @Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri=...) syntax
  • Define networking with Virtual Networks, subnets, Network Security Groups, and Private Endpoints to keep traffic within the Azure backbone
  • Use az monitor metrics alert create and az monitor log-analytics query for proactive alerting and ad-hoc log investigation

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.
