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

writing-clearly 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 8d 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

Clear writing is a faithful, compressed model of the truth. Cut anything that doesn't change the reader's understanding.

General

  1. Lead with the point. Say what changed / what to do, then the why. No preamble.
  2. Be concrete and specific over vague and grand. Prefer plain words to jargon.
  3. Don't overstate: state verified facts plainly; flag the uncertain as uncertain.

Code comments 4. Comment the WHY, not the WHAT — well-named identifiers already say what. Add a comment only when the reason is non-obvious. Match the file's existing density.

Docs & messages 5. Match length to the reader's need: a commit subject is one line; a function doc is its contract (purpose, params, returns, failure); a status update is a sentence or two — what changed, what's next. 6. Show, don't tell: a short example beats a paragraph of description.

Red flags: marketing adjectives, restating code in English, walls of text where a list or example would do, hedging on things you've verified.

Changes

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.
