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

nw-review 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 6d 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.

NW-REVIEW: Expert Critique and Quality Assurance

Wave: CROSS_WAVE Agent: Dynamic (nw-*-reviewer)

Overview

Dispatches expert reviewer agent to critique workflow artifacts. Takes base agent name, appends -reviewer, invokes with artifact. Reviewer agent owns all review methodology|criteria|output format.

Review Philosophy: Radical Candor

Every review MUST embody Radical Candor — kind AND clear, specific AND sincere:

  • Care personally: Acknowledge what works. Understand author's intent before critiquing. Include at least one genuine praise: per review.
  • Challenge directly: Be specific about what is wrong and WHY. Ground feedback in evidence|consequences, not preference. Never soften security/data-loss issues.
  • Avoid ruinous empathy: Never "LGTM" when real issues exist. Hedging ("maybe consider possibly...") on blocking concerns is a review failure.
  • Avoid obnoxious aggression: Never "this is terrible" without constructive alternative. Focus on work, not author. Explain "why" behind every critique.

Feedback Format: Conventional Comments

All findings MUST use Conventional Comments labels:

Label Purpose Blocking?
praise: Highlight something done well (genuine, not filler) No
issue (blocking): Must be resolved before proceeding Yes
issue (blocking, security): Security vulnerability — maximum directness Yes
suggestion: Propose improvement with reasoning Mark (blocking) or (non-blocking)
nitpick (non-blocking): Trivial, preference-based No
question (non-blocking): Seek clarification before assuming No
thought (non-blocking): Idea sparked by the review No

Findings MUST be priority-ordered: blocking issues first, then suggestions, then nitpicks/praise.

Approval Criteria

Verdict Criteria
APPROVED No blocking issues. Non-blocking feedback is advisory.
NEEDS_REVISION Blocking issues exist. Author must address. Each blocking issue enumerated.
REJECTED Fundamental design problems requiring significant rework. Rare — explain thoroughly, offer alternatives.

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.
