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

developer-onboarding 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.

What it actually says

Developer Onboarding

Core Workflow

  1. Identify the target developer, prerequisites, platform assumptions, and first useful task.
  2. Read existing setup scripts, package files, docs, tests, and repo structure.
  3. Document setup, verification, common workflows, project layout, contribution path, and troubleshooting links.
  4. Keep commands copyable and scoped by operating system or host when they differ.
  5. Include validation checks so the user knows setup succeeded.
  6. Flag missing automation, stale commands, or unclear ownership.

Safety Rules

  • Do not invent setup commands or environment variables.
  • Do not include secrets or private service credentials in docs.
  • Do not make one vendor or host mandatory when the repo supports alternatives.

Deliverable Shape

For onboarding docs, provide:

  • Audience and prerequisites
  • Setup steps
  • Verification checks
  • Repository map
  • Common workflows
  • Contribution path
  • Troubleshooting notes
  • Open gaps

References

  • Read references/developer-onboarding-checklist.md when writing or reviewing onboarding docs.

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.
