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

file-manager 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

File Manager

Preferred Tools

  • eza over ls (better formatting, git integration)
  • fd over find (faster, smarter)
  • rg over grep (faster, recursive by default)
  • dust over du (visual disk usage)
  • bat over cat (syntax highlighting)
  • trash over rm (recoverable)

Common Patterns

# Find files
fd "pattern" /path

# Search file contents
rg "pattern" /path

# Directory listing with details
eza -la --git --icons /path

# Disk usage breakdown
dust -n 20 /path

# Safe delete
trash file_or_dir

# Backup before editing
cp file file.bak.$(date +%Y%m%d)

Safety Rules

  • ALWAYS trash instead of rm
  • ALWAYS cp backup before mutating important files
  • Ask before bulk operations
Changes

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.
