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

check-env 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 6d 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

Run the project's full quality pipeline before committing.

Current State

  • Branch: !git branch --show-current
  • Unstaged changes: !git diff --stat

Steps

  1. Format and run pre-commit hooks:

    make autoflake isort black pre-commit
    
  2. Type-check new/modified Python files only (use ty or mypy):

    # Check just the files that changed
    git diff --name-only --diff-filter=ACMR HEAD -- '*.py' | xargs -I{} .venv/bin/mypy {} --ignore-missing-imports 2>/dev/null || true
    
  3. Run static analysis:

    make flake8 bandit interrogate pylint verify
    
  4. Report any failures. For each failure:

    • Show the exact error
    • Fix it if straightforward
    • Ask the user if the fix is unclear
Changes

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.
