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

playwright-cli 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 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.

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.

Browser Automation with playwright-cli

Always

  • --headed is mandatory. Always open browsers with --headed. Headless sessions cannot be interrupted — if a page needs sign-in, CAPTCHA, or manual action, the workflow is stuck with no recovery path.
  • --persistent for auth sessions. Use whenever the page may require login state (Google properties, any site with auth).
  • Named sessions. Always use -s=<name> (e.g. -s=maps, -s=research) so sessions are addressable and close cleanly.
  • Sign-in flow. When auth is needed: open → navigate → tell the user → wait for their confirmation → then continue.
  • Headless only when: page is a public URL, no auth, no CAPTCHA risk (e.g. localhost screenshots).

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.
