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

templateclaw-dev 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 2mo 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.

  • Example test file demonstrating Red→Green→Refactor

Content:

# TDD Workflow

## The Cycle
1. RED: Write a failing test
2. GREEN: Write minimum code to pass
3. REFACTOR: Clean up, maintain tests passing

## Rules
- Never write production code without a failing test
- One assert per test (when possible)
- Test behavior, not implementation

## Test Structure (AAA)
- Arrange: Set up test data
- Act: Execute the behavior
- Assert: Verify the outcome

## Coverage Targets
- Unit: 80%+
- Integration: 60%+
- E2E: Critical paths only

CI/CD Pipeline Setup (/templateclaw-dev cicd)

Detect repository and generate:

GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/ci.yml):

- Lint → Test → Build → Deploy
- Matrix testing (Node 18/20/22 or Python 3.10/3.11/3.12)
- Caching (node_modules / pip / cargo)
- Security scanning (npm audit / safety / cargo audit)
- Deployment (conditional on branch)

Output: Working CI/CD config + docs/cicd-guide.md explaining each stage.
