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

documentation-style 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 2d 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.

Documentation and writing style

Purpose

Keep NVCF documentation plain, consistent, and useful for external readers. Write short docs an agent or contributor can act on without private context. Avoid typographic Unicode that breaks grep and diff tools, and avoid emphasis patterns that make docs noisy.

When to use

  • Any new or edited public Markdown in this repo.
  • AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, SKILL.md, READMEs, plans, and guides.
  • GitHub issue bodies, commit messages, and Pull Request descriptions.
  • Existing docs you are changing for another reason.

Instructions

  1. No markdown bold for emphasis. Do not use **...**, __...__, raw HTML <b>, or <strong>. Use headings, lists, and backticks for paths, commands, env vars, and identifiers.

  2. No emojis in documentation or user-facing prose.

  3. No em-dash (Unicode U+2014) or en-dash (U+2013). Split the thought into two sentences, or use a comma, semicolon, parenthesis, or colon.

  4. ASCII only in committed prose. Avoid smart quotes, ellipsis characters, non-breaking spaces, arrows, and other typographic Unicode. Prefer -> over an arrow glyph and ... over a single-character ellipsis. Code blocks and quoted fixtures are exempt.

  5. Be succinct. Prefer short sentences and direct wording. Cut filler and repetition. Keep one idea per sentence when possible.

  6. Prefer lists for short, scan-friendly structure. Use bullets for unordered items and numbered lists when sequence, priority, or stable rule references matter. Use tables only when columns make comparison, status, option tradeoffs, or matrix decisions easier. Do not turn a short list into a table.

  7. Be easy to understand. Define acronyms on first use if the audience is broad. Prefer concrete examples over abstract jargon.

  8. Write for GitHub readers. Use public names, public paths, and public behavior. Replace private evidence with the user-visible reason for the change.

  9. Keep agent guidance actionable. Say when to use a skill, what to inspect first, what command to run, and what done means. Do not add temporary branch status, Pull Request queues, merge-order notes, or private routing details.

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.
