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

console-debugging 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.

Console Debugging Skill

Systematic approach to analyzing browser console messages using Chrome DevTools MCP.

Console Message Categories

Error Messages (Highest Priority)

Type Example Typical Cause
JavaScript Error Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'x' of undefined Null reference
Network Error Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED API unavailable
CORS Error Access-Control-Allow-Origin Backend configuration
CSP Error Content Security Policy Security restriction
Syntax Error SyntaxError: Unexpected token Invalid JavaScript
Reference Error ReferenceError: x is not defined Undefined variable

Warning Messages (Medium Priority)

Type Example Action
Deprecation 'componentWillMount' is deprecated Plan migration
Performance Long task took 200ms Optimize
Security Insecure form submission Fix HTTPS
Mixed Content Mixed Content: loading HTTP on HTTPS Update resource URLs

Info/Log Messages (Context)

Type Purpose
Debug output Developer console.log statements
Library info Framework initialization messages
Analytics Tracking events
State changes Application state updates

Analysis Workflow

1. Collect Console Messages

Use Chrome DevTools MCP to list all console messages:

Tool: mcp__chrome-devtools__list_console_messages
Parameters: { "level": "error" }  // or "warning", "info", "debug"

2. Filter by Severity

Start with errors, then warnings:

  1. Errors first - These break functionality
  2. Warnings second - These indicate problems
  3. Info last - These provide context

3. Group by Source

Categorize errors by their origin:

  • Application code - Your own JavaScript
  • Third-party libraries - External dependencies
  • Browser/extension - Not your code
  • Network - API/resource failures

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.
