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

cannibalization-check 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.

What it actually says

Cannibalization Check

Overview

Analyze GSC query and page data to find situations where multiple pages compete for the same or closely related queries, diluting ranking potential. Recommend consolidation, 301 redirects, or differentiation strategies.

Inputs

  • GSC query + page export or live data
  • Optional: site content inventory or sitemap

Workflow

  1. Load GSC data and group queries by semantic similarity.
  2. For each query group, identify pages that appear for the same query.
  3. Score cannibalization severity:
    • Multiple pages in top 20 for the same query
    • Pages splitting clicks/impressions across similar queries
    • High-authority page being cannibalized by a lower-authority page
  4. For each cannibalization instance, recommend:
    • Consolidation: 301 to the best page
    • Differentiation: adjust targets so pages cover distinct subtopics
    • Internal link fix: adjust anchor text and link structure
  5. Estimate the traffic recovery from resolving each instance.

Output

Cannibalization report with competing page pairs, query overlap, severity score, and fix recommendation.

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.
