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

algolia-search 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.

What it actually says

Algolia Search Integration

Patterns

React InstantSearch with Hooks

Modern React InstantSearch setup using hooks for type-ahead search.

Uses react-instantsearch-hooks-web package with algoliasearch client. Widgets are components that can be customized with classnames.

Key hooks:

  • useSearchBox: Search input handling
  • useHits: Access search results
  • useRefinementList: Facet filtering
  • usePagination: Result pagination
  • useInstantSearch: Full state access

Next.js Server-Side Rendering

SSR integration for Next.js with react-instantsearch-nextjs package.

Use instead of for SSR. Supports both Pages Router and App Router (experimental).

Key considerations:

  • Set dynamic = 'force-dynamic' for fresh results
  • Handle URL synchronization with routing prop
  • Use getServerState for initial state

Data Synchronization and Indexing

Indexing strategies for keeping Algolia in sync with your data.

Three main approaches:

  1. Full Reindexing - Replace entire index (expensive)
  2. Full Record Updates - Replace individual records
  3. Partial Updates - Update specific attributes only

Best practices:

  • Batch records (ideal: 10MB, 1K-10K records per batch)
  • Use incremental updates when possible
  • partialUpdateObjects for attribute-only changes
  • Avoid deleteBy (computationally expensive)

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.
