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

barba-js 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 12d 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.

Barba.js

Modern page transition library for creating fluid, smooth transitions between website pages. Barba.js makes multi-page websites feel like Single Page Applications (SPAs) by hijacking navigation and managing transitions without full page reloads.

Overview

Barba.js is a lightweight (7kb minified and compressed) JavaScript library that intercepts navigation between pages, fetches new content via AJAX, and smoothly transitions between old and new containers. It reduces page load delays and HTTP requests while maintaining the benefits of traditional multi-page architecture.

Core Features:

  • Smooth page transitions without full reloads
  • Lifecycle hooks for precise control over transition phases
  • View-based logic for page-specific behaviors
  • Built-in routing with @barba/router plugin
  • Extensible plugin system
  • Small footprint and high performance
  • Framework-agnostic (works with vanilla JS, GSAP, anime.js, etc.)

Core Concepts

1. Wrapper, Container, and Namespace

Barba.js uses a specific DOM structure to manage transitions:

HTML Structure:

<body data-barba="wrapper">
  <!-- Static elements (header, nav) stay outside container -->
  <header>
    <nav>
      <a href="/">Home</a>
      <a href="/about">About</a>
    </nav>
  </header>

  <!-- Dynamic content goes in container -->
  <main data-barba="container" data-barba-namespace="home">
    <!-- This content changes on navigation -->
    <h1>Home Page</h1>
    <p>Content that will transition out...</p>
  </main>

  <!-- Static footer outside container -->
  <footer>© 2025</footer>
</body>

Three Key Elements:

  1. Wrapper (data-barba="wrapper")

    • Outermost container
    • Everything inside wrapper but outside container stays persistent
    • Ideal for headers, navigation, footers that don't change
  2. Container (data-barba="container")

    • Dynamic content area that updates on navigation
    • Only this section gets replaced during transitions
    • Must exist on every page

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.
