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

qmd 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 11d 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.

Writing Good Queries

lex (keyword)

  • 2-5 terms, no filler words
  • Exact phrase: "connection pool" (quoted)
  • Exclude terms: performance -sports (minus prefix)
  • Code identifiers work: handleError async

vec (semantic)

  • Full natural language question
  • Be specific: "how does the rate limiter handle burst traffic"
  • Include context: "in the payment service, how are refunds processed"

hyde (hypothetical document)

  • Write 50-100 words of what the answer looks like
  • Use the vocabulary you expect in the result

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
