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

app-docs 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 284 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

App Documentation Generator

Browse a running web app, screenshot every screen, and produce documentation good enough to publish. Not a screenshot dump — a structured guide that teaches someone how to use the app.

Browser Tool Detection

Same as ux-audit — Chrome MCP, Playwright MCP, or playwright-cli.

URL Resolution

Same as ux-audit — prefer deployed/live URL over localhost.

Depth Levels

Depth Screenshots What it produces Duration
quick ~10 Single-page quick-start guide. Key screens, happy path only. 10-15 min
standard ~30 Full user guide. All pages, primary workflows, reference tables. 30-60 min
thorough ~80+ Comprehensive guide. All states, mobile views, every CRUD flow, troubleshooting. 1-3 hours
exhaustive ~150+ Publishable documentation suite. Everything in thorough plus: getting started tutorial, feature-by-feature deep dives, admin guide, keyboard shortcut reference, FAQ, and HTML version. 3-6 hours

Default: standard

Workflow

1. Get App Details

Ask the user:

  • App URL (required — or auto-detect from wrangler.jsonc / running dev server)
  • App name (for the guide title)
  • Auth — Chrome MCP uses their session; Playwright needs credentials
  • Depth — quick, standard, thorough, or exhaustive
  • Audience — who reads this? (end users, admins, new team members, clients)

2. Discover All Routes

Navigate the app and build a complete page inventory:

  • Read the sidebar/navigation menu
  • Click through all top-level items and sub-items
  • Note sub-pages, tabs within pages, and nested navigation
  • Check for settings, profile, admin areas, help pages
  • Record the URL and purpose of each page
  • Note which pages have interactive elements (forms, buttons, filters)

Create a task list to track documentation progress.

3. Document Each Page

For each page in the inventory:

a. Navigate and Prepare
  • Navigate to the page
  • Wait for data to load (no skeleton/spinner in screenshot)
  • Resize browser to 1280x720 for consistent screenshots
  • Make sure the page has realistic data — not "Test Client" or empty tables

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.
