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

avalonia-wpf-migration 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.

Avalonia WPF Migration

Overview

Avalonia's API is intentionally WPF-like. Most XAML, binding, and MVVM patterns transfer directly. Key differences: styling system, ControlTemplates → ControlThemes, no Triggers, .axaml extension, namespace differences.

Quick Mapping Table

WPF Avalonia Notes
.xaml .axaml Extension differs
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns="https://github.com/avaloniaui" Root namespace
DependencyProperty StyledProperty / DirectProperty See property system
FrameworkElement Control Base for custom controls
UserControl (base) UserControl Same name, similar API
Control (for lookless) TemplatedControl Different base class
Style with TargetType ControlTheme with TargetType Styling lookless controls
Style with Triggers Style with nested styles + pseudoclasses No Triggers in Avalonia
DataTrigger Binding + pseudoclass / Classes binding Pattern change
ResourceDictionary Source= ResourceInclude Source="avares://..." URI scheme differs
pack://application:,,,/ avares://AssemblyName/ Asset URI scheme
Window.ShowDialog() window.ShowDialog(owner) Requires owner parameter
MessageBox.Show() No built-in — use dialog or notification API removed
Dispatcher.Invoke() Dispatcher.UIThread.InvokeAsync() Async-first
BindingOperations.ClearBinding() control.ClearValue(prop) Slightly different
x:Static x:Static Same
TemplateBinding TemplateBinding Same
RelativeSource Self {Binding $self.Property} Different syntax
RelativeSource AncestorType {Binding $parent[TypeName].Property} Different syntax
EventTrigger + Storyboard Animation in styles Different animation system
BitmapImage + Uri Bitmap + AssetLoader Different image loading
IValueConverter IValueConverter Same interface
IMultiValueConverter IMultiValueConverter Same interface
ObservableCollection<T> ObservableCollection<T> Same
ICommand ICommand Same
CollectionViewSource DataGridCollectionView Different class
Frame + NavigationService ContentControl + ViewModel swap MVVM pattern preferred

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.
