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

doc-creation 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 7d 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.

Technical Documentation

Documentation Philosophy

Write for the reader who is in a hurry and under stress.

Good documentation answers the question before the reader finishes asking it. Every doc should have a clear audience and a clear job to do.


Documentation Types & When to Use Each

Type Purpose When to Write
README Project overview + quickstart Every project, day 1
Architecture Doc How the system is designed and why Before building complex systems
Runbook Step-by-step operational procedures For anything ops needs to do repeatedly
API Reference Endpoint contracts When exposing an API to others
ADR Why a significant decision was made After every major technical decision
Changelog What changed between versions Every release
How-To Guide Task-oriented instructions When users need to do a specific thing

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.
