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

markedit 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 2mo 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.

Extension Registry

Use the official registry metadata:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MarkEdit-app/extensions/main/index.json

The registry website is useful for browsing. For installation and upgrades, fetch index.json from registry.url in extensions.json, using the official URL above only when that field is absent or null. Do not fall back when extensions.json is malformed. Match the user's request against each entry's name, description, and ID. If multiple entries match, ask the user to choose.

Each entry's latest object provides version, immutable asset url, sha256, and optional minAppVersion. Accept registry schemaVersion values up to 1; stop on a newer version. Require an HTTPS asset URL, a safe kebab-case ID, and a compatible MarkEdit version before installation.

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.
