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

architecture-format 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 today.

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.

Architecture Document Structure

Your architecture must contain the following sections:

1. Task Description

Link to TASK and brief summary of requirements

2. Functional Architecture

Description of the system in terms of functions it performs.

2.1. Functional Components

For each functional component describe:

Component Name: [Example, "User Management"]

Purpose: [Why this component is needed]

Functions:

  • Function 1: [Description]

    • Input: [what accepts]
    • Output: [what returns]
    • Related Use Cases: [UC-01, UC-03]
  • Function 2: [Description]

    • Input: [what accepts]
    • Output: [what returns]
    • Related Use Cases: [UC-02]

Dependencies:

  • Depends on which other components
  • Which components depend on it
2.2. Functional Components Diagram
[Mermaid diagram showing connections between components]

3. System Architecture

Description of the system in terms of physical/logical components.

3.1. Architectural Style

Which architectural pattern is used:

  • Monolith
  • Microservices
  • Layered Architecture
  • Event-driven
  • Etc.

Justification: [Why this style was chosen]

3.2. System Components

For each system component describe:

Component Name: [Example, "User Service"]

Type: [Backend service / Frontend / Database / Message Queue / etc.]

Purpose: [Why needed]

Implemented Functions: [Links to functions from functional architecture]

Technologies: [Programming language, frameworks]

Interfaces:

  • Inbound: [Who and how accesses this component]
  • Outbound: [Who and how this component accesses]

Dependencies:

  • External libraries
  • Other system components
  • External services
3.3. Components Diagram
[Mermaid diagram showing components and their interaction]

4. Data Model

Description of data structure in the system.

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.
