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

web-a11y-authoring 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.

Web A11y Authoring

Core Rules

For concrete markup patterns, see PATTERNS.md.

  1. Prefer native HTML controls before ARIA or custom widgets.
  2. Use links for navigation and buttons for actions.
  3. Ensure every interactive control has a clear accessible name.
  4. Keep DOM order aligned with reading and interaction order.
  5. Preserve visible focus and keyboard operation for every interaction.
  6. Use ARIA only to supplement semantics that cannot be expressed natively.
  7. Classify images, icons, and SVG as decorative, informative, or functional.
  8. Communicate unusual link behavior before activation.

Authoring Checklist

Authoring checklist

- [ ] Page has meaningful title, language, landmarks, and heading structure
- [ ] Controls expose role, name, state, and value correctly
- [ ] Interactions work with keyboard alone
- [ ] Focus is visible, logical, and intentionally managed
- [ ] Hidden content is not accidentally focusable or announced
- [ ] Native control behavior is preserved under custom styling
- [ ] Links describe destination/action, including downloads and context changes
- [ ] Images, SVG, and icons have appropriate text alternatives or are hidden correctly
- [ ] Audio/video has controls and alternatives such as captions or transcripts when needed

Common Patterns

  • Toggle button: native button with synchronized state such as aria-pressed.
  • Disclosure: button with synchronized aria-expanded and hidden content state.
  • Dialog: intentional initial focus, contained interaction while open, focus restored on close.
  • Icon-only control: visible or programmatic accessible name that describes the action.
  • Download/file link: link text includes action, target, file type, and size when useful.
  • Functional image/SVG: accessible name describes the action or destination.
  • Decorative image/SVG: removed from the accessibility tree without hiding useful text.
  • Media: avoid disruptive autoplay, provide controls, and include captions/transcripts when content requires them.

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.
