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

review 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 10d 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.

Review Checklist

Decision Conformance

Recorded decisions are this project's binding architectural commitments. Check them first — a conformance violation outranks any style or quality issue below.

  • Called decision_list (or noted the fallback) before reading any code
  • Every changed file checked against every decision that could apply to it
  • Every ✅ backed by a cited check, not by inspection alone
  • Every decision on its own line, including the ones that do not apply — no bulk dismissals
  • "Decisions loaded: N" counted, not estimated, and matching the number of lines
  • No decision violated by the change under review
  • Change does not extend a pre-existing violation
  • Where a decision seems wrong rather than the code, that is stated explicitly

Code Quality

  • Clear naming (variables, functions, classes)
  • Single responsibility (functions do one thing)
  • DRY (no unnecessary duplication)
  • Appropriate abstraction level
  • Error handling coverage
  • Edge cases considered

Security (OWASP Top 10)

  • Input validation (no injection vulnerabilities)
  • Authentication checks (routes protected)
  • Authorization (proper access control)
  • Sensitive data handling (no secrets in code)
  • SQL/NoSQL injection prevention
  • XSS prevention (output encoding)
  • CSRF protection
  • Secure dependencies (no known vulnerabilities)

Maintainability

  • Code is readable without comments
  • Comments explain "why" not "what"
  • Consistent with codebase patterns
  • Tests cover critical paths
  • No dead code

Performance

  • No N+1 queries
  • Appropriate caching
  • No memory leaks
  • Efficient algorithms

Context-Efficient Reading

Prefer lightweight tools first, then read in detail where needed:

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.
