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

aspire-orchestration 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 12d 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.

Aspire Orchestration

Use this skill when you need to add a service to the AppHost, debug why something fails to start, understand how connection strings flow, or explain the topology to someone new.

What Aspire owns in this repo

AllProjects.AppHost/Program.cs is the single source of truth for how the GA backend stack runs locally. Aspire builds a DistributedApplication that orchestrates every service Guitar Alchemist needs — infrastructure containers, .NET projects, the React frontend, the MCP server, and Python sidecars — and exposes the Aspire dashboard at https://localhost:15001 for live status, logs, traces, and resource URLs.

The dashboard is the canonical place to discover ports, follow logs, and trigger restarts. Don't hardcode service URLs in client code or skill docs — read them from the dashboard or the configuration injected at runtime.

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.
