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

prohibit-bad-habits 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 1mo 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.

Prohibit bad habits

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger Human requests that specific agent behavior patterns be documented as prohibited in a structured project document or agent-rule file rather than in AGENTS.md.
Authority Reversible local: writes only the named local artifact; rollback is deleting the written file if it did not exist before and the human has not confirmed it. No remote mutation.
Side effect Local file write: creates or updates one structured project document or agent-rule file that enumerates prohibited agent behavior patterns.
Done A structured artifact exists at the agreed target path and contains at least one prohibited-habit entry with a non-empty name and description, verified by the human.

Inputs

  • Prohibited patterns: required. For each pattern, the human supplies a short name, a concrete description of the behavior to avoid, the negative consequence of that behavior, and optionally a category and a workaround or alternative. If the human cannot supply a concrete description, stop rather than invent one.
  • Target location: optional. The human may specify the exact file path. Default: docs/prohibited-habits.md for shared project docs; agent-rules/prohibited-habits.yaml for agent-rule locations.
  • Authority confirmation: the human confirms or revises the target path before the write occurs.

Procedure

  1. Gather prohibited patterns. Ask the human to list each pattern to prohibit. For each, collect: name (short identifier), description (concrete behavior to avoid), consequence (what goes wrong when the agent does this), and optionally category and workaround. If the human cannot supply a concrete description, stop without writing. Done when: every pattern the human listed has a name and a concrete description, and any pattern lacking a description is named as blocked rather than invented.
  2. Confirm target location. Accept the human's specified path, or use docs/prohibited-habits.md for a shared-project location or agent-rules/prohibited-habits.yaml for an agent-rules location. Present the chosen path to the human and wait for confirmation before proceeding. Done when: the human has confirmed or revised the path, and the path is recorded for the write.
  3. Choose format. Use Markdown (*.md) if the target is under docs/ or the human requests it. Use YAML (*.yaml) if the target is under agent-rules/ or multiple agent-rule files already exist in the project. Otherwise default to Markdown. Done when: the format matches the target path extension, or the default is chosen and the path extension agrees with it.
  4. Draft file content. Write the following structure to the confirmed path:

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.
