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

seo-lighthouse-audit scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Lighthouse Audit & Fix Mapping

Lighthouse is Google's open-source page quality tool. It runs a series of audits against a URL and scores four categories: Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO. Reference: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/overview

Scope notes (keep the report honest):

  • PWA category was removed in Lighthouse v12 (2024). Do NOT score or report a PWA category. If the user asks for it, explain it no longer exists.
  • Lighthouse is lab data — a single synthetic run on emulated hardware/network. Always recommend validating against CrUX field data (75th percentile of real users) before treating a score as ground truth. Delegate field-data analysis to the seo-core-web-vitals skill.
  • Agentic Browsing is a new experimental category (llms.txt, WebMCP tools, accessibility-for-agents). It is informational only — it reports a pass ratio, not a 0-100 score. See https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/agentic-browsing/scoring

Inputs

Input Required Default
URL to audit Yes
Strategy (mobile/desktop) No mobile
Categories No performance, seo, best-practices, accessibility

Execution

  1. Detect a local Lighthouse CLI:

    npx lighthouse --version 2>/dev/null || which lighthouse
    

    Requires Chrome installed locally. If either succeeds, prefer the CLI path (step 2); otherwise fall back to the PageSpeed Insights API (step 3).

  2. CLI path — run headless and write JSON to a temp file:

    npx lighthouse <url> --output=json \
      --output-path=/tmp/lh-report.json \
      --chrome-flags="--headless" --quiet
    

    For desktop strategy add --preset=desktop.

  3. API fallback — PageSpeed Insights v5 (no API key needed for light use; add &key= if one is configured):

    curl -s "https://www.googleapis.com/pagespeedonline/v5/runPagespeed?url=<url>&category=performance&category=seo&category=best-practices&category=accessibility&strategy=mobile" -o /tmp/psi.json
    

    The Lighthouse result lives under .lighthouseResult. Docs: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/v5/get-started Bonus: the same response embeds CrUX field data under loadingExperience — surface it as a lab-vs-field sanity check.

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.
