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

consulting-design 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.

Gotchas

  • Gemini brainstorm output is non-deterministic — same prompt rerun gives different ideas; save outputs you want to reference.
  • ask-gemini doesn't preserve conversation context across calls — multi-turn questions need explicit history concatenation in each prompt.
  • API quota is per-project per-day — bursting on a free tier locks the project out until midnight Pacific.
  • Output is markdown but can include LaTeX math — downstream tooling that doesn't render math gets garbled output without warning.
  • brainstorm defaults to 5 ideas — for divergent ideation, explicitly request more; the default is a hard cap.
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.
