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

superpowers-sage:wp-phpstan 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 6d 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.

Static Analysis for Sage/Acorn with PHPStan

When to use

  • Setting up static analysis on a Sage theme for the first time
  • Adding PHPStan to an existing project and managing the baseline
  • Fixing type errors reported by PHPStan in Sage/Acorn code
  • Configuring CI pipelines to enforce static analysis
  • Incrementally raising the PHPStan analysis level

Inputs required

  • Current PHPStan level (if already configured), or confirmation this is a fresh setup
  • Whether Larastan and WordPress stubs are already installed
  • Target analysis level (or follow the recommended progression)
  • CI platform in use (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.) if configuring CI integration

Procedure

1. Install dependencies

lando theme-composer require --dev phpstan/phpstan larastan/larastan szepeviktor/phpstan-wordpress

This installs:

  • phpstan/phpstan — the core static analysis engine
  • larastan/larastan — Laravel-specific extensions (facades, models, service container, Eloquent)
  • szepeviktor/phpstan-wordpress — WordPress function stubs and type definitions

2. Configure phpstan.neon

Create or update phpstan.neon in the theme root:

includes:
    - vendor/larastan/larastan/extension.neon
    - vendor/szepeviktor/phpstan-wordpress/extension.neon

parameters:
    paths:
        - app/

    level: 0

    # WordPress dynamic functions that PHPStan cannot resolve
    ignoreErrors:
        - '#Function apply_filters invoked with#'
        - '#Function do_action invoked with#'
        - '#Function add_filter expects#'
        - '#Function add_action expects#'

    # Scan files for WordPress global function definitions
    scanDirectories:
        - vendor/szepeviktor/phpstan-wordpress/bootstrap.php

    # Treat Acorn facades correctly via Larastan
    checkGenericClassInNonGenericObjectType: false

3. Run the initial analysis

lando theme-composer exec phpstan -- analyse

At level 0, this should produce few or no errors. If errors exist, fix them or generate a baseline.

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.
