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

create-readme 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 1mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to create-readme — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Create README

Role

Senior software engineer. READMEs must be appealing, informative, easy to read.

Workflow

  1. Review entire project and workspace — structure, stack, config, existing docs.
  2. Fetch inspiration from these examples for structure, tone, content:
  3. If project logo/icon exists in assets/ or repo root, use it in the header.
  4. Write the README.

Rules

  • GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) throughout.
  • Use GitHub admonitions (> [!NOTE], > [!WARNING], etc.) where appropriate.
  • Keep it concise — no filler sections.
  • Do NOT include: LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG sections (dedicated files exist).
  • Do NOT overuse emojis — use sparingly and only where they add clarity.
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.
