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

apply-distributed-team-practices 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 5d 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.

Apply Distributed Team Practices

Adapt your management approach for distributed or hybrid teams — making information accessible asynchronously, relationships intentional, and participation equitable regardless of location.

Why This Is Best Practice

Adopted by: GitLab (1,500+ employees, fully remote since 2011) publishes the most comprehensive remote work playbook in the industry; Automattic (WordPress parent, fully remote since 2005) has a documented no-office culture; Shopify, Airbnb, and Spotify operate distributed models; Microsoft WorkLab's "The New Future of Work" (2022, 20k+ participants) is the largest ongoing research program on hybrid work effectiveness Impact: Microsoft WorkLab (2022) found that in hybrid teams without deliberate inclusion practices, remote employees are 22% less likely to be included in meetings, 26% less likely to receive real-time feedback, and have 2× the risk of "proximity bias" — being passed over for promotions in favor of visible in-office peers; GitLab's internal research shows async-first teams complete projects 40% faster than teams relying on synchronous-only communication, primarily by eliminating scheduling friction; Stanford research (Bloom, 2022) found remote workers are 13–18% more productive on individual tasks but 30% less productive on collaboration without deliberate structure Why best: Managing a distributed team with in-office management practices produces two failure modes: (1) information asymmetry — remote members miss hallway conversations, social context, and informal decisions; (2) proximity bias — in-office members are more visible, more likely to be recognized, and more likely to be promoted; applying distributed practices deliberately counteracts both without requiring everyone to be co-located

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.
