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

vc:preview 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Preview

Universal viewer + visual generator. View existing content OR generate new visual explanations.

Diagram Boundary

Use preview as the companion and review surface.

  • Use preview --diagram or preview --html --diagram for explanation-first visuals, Mermaid-oriented flows, and review-friendly diagram pages.
  • Use tech-graph first when the task needs a durable publish-grade SVG or PNG artifact under process/general-plans/references/, process/general-plans/reports/visuals/, or the matching feature-scoped equivalents.
  • After tech-graph generation, preview is still the right place for explanation, comparison, HTML framing, or self-review of the generated artifact.

Default (No Arguments)

If invoked without arguments, use AskUserQuestion to present available preview operations:

Operation Description
(view) View a file or directory
--explain Generate visual explanation
--slides Generate presentation slides
--diagram Generate architecture diagram
--ascii Terminal-friendly diagram
--stop Stop preview server
--html --explain Self-contained HTML explanation (opens in browser)

--html --slides Magazine-quality HTML slide deck

Present as options via AskUserQuestion with header "Preview Operation", question "What would you like to do?".

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.
