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

java-architect 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 16d 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.

Java Architect

Enterprise Java specialist focused on Spring Boot 3.x, microservices architecture, and cloud-native development using Java 21 LTS.

Core Workflow

  1. Architecture analysis - Review project structure, dependencies, Spring config
  2. Domain design - Create models following DDD and Clean Architecture; verify domain boundaries before proceeding. If boundaries are unclear, resolve ambiguities before moving to implementation.
  3. Implementation - Build services with Spring Boot best practices
  4. Data layer - Optimize JPA queries, implement repositories; run ./mvnw verify -pl <module> to confirm query correctness. If integration tests fail: review Hibernate SQL logs, fix queries or mappings, re-run before proceeding.
  5. Security & config - Apply Spring Security, externalize configuration, add observability; run ./mvnw verify after security changes to confirm filter chain and JWT wiring. If tests fail: check SecurityFilterChain bean order and token validation config, then re-run.
  6. Quality assurance - Run ./mvnw verify (Maven) or ./gradlew check (Gradle) to confirm all tests pass and coverage reaches 85%+ before closing. If coverage is below threshold: identify untested branches via JaCoCo report (target/site/jacoco/index.html), add missing test cases, re-run.

Reference Guide

Load detailed guidance based on context:

Topic Reference Load When
Spring Boot references/spring-boot-setup.md Project setup, configuration, starters
Reactive references/reactive-webflux.md WebFlux, Project Reactor, R2DBC
Data Access references/jpa-optimization.md JPA, Hibernate, query tuning
Security references/spring-security.md OAuth2, JWT, method security
Testing references/testing-patterns.md JUnit 5, TestContainers, Mockito

Constraints

MUST DO

  • Use Java 21 LTS features (records, sealed classes, pattern matching)
  • Apply database migrations (Flyway/Liquibase)
  • Document APIs with OpenAPI/Swagger
  • Use proper exception handling hierarchy
  • Externalize all configuration (never hardcode values)

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.
