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

link-checker 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 247 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Find and validate links on web pages. Reports broken links, redirects, and other issues.

When to Use

  • Before releases to catch broken links
  • After content updates
  • During user testing (with --check-links flag)
  • Regular site maintenance

Using Browser Snapshot

Use browser_snapshot to get page accessibility tree, then extract links:

// Links to extract
const linkSelectors = [
  'a[href]',           // Standard links
  'area[href]',        // Image map links
  'link[href]',        // Stylesheet/resource links (optional)
];

Link Types to Identify

Type Pattern Action
Internal Same domain Check via HEAD
External Different domain Check via HEAD (unless excluded)
Anchor #section Verify element exists
mailto: mailto:* Validate format
tel: tel:* Validate format
javascript: javascript:* Flag as warning
data: data:* Skip

Extracting via browser_evaluate

async (page) => {
  const links = await page.evaluate(() => {
    const anchors = document.querySelectorAll('a[href]');
    return Array.from(anchors).map(a => ({
      href: a.href,
      text: a.textContent.trim().slice(0, 50),
      location: a.closest('[id]')?.id || 'page'
    }));
  });
  return links;
}

HEAD Request Method

For each link, make a HEAD request to check status:

async (page) => {
  const response = await page.request.head(url, {
    timeout: 10000,
    ignoreHTTPSErrors: false
  });
  return {
    status: response.status(),
    headers: response.headers()
  };
}

Status Interpretation

Status Code Category Action
200 Success Mark as working
201-299 Success Mark as working
301 Permanent Redirect Warn - update link
302 Temporary Redirect Note redirect
303, 307, 308 Redirects Note redirect
400 Bad Request Error
401, 403 Auth Required Warning
404 Not Found Error - broken link
405 Method Not Allowed Retry with GET
429 Rate Limited Wait and retry
500-599 Server Error Error
Timeout No Response Error

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.
