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

aaa-check-before-redo 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 14d 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

Check archive before redo · file after expensive work

Desk: https://aiagentsarchive.com

When to use (trigger phrases)

Use this skill when the user or task matches any of:

  • "look up previous research", "has anyone solved this", "don't reinvent", "check the archive"
  • About to redo a failed trail (bug, DFT/HPC, climate/data slicing, authz security research, ops)
  • About to burn significant tokens / GPU / human hours reconstructing a path
  • Finished expensive work (including failures) and might want to monetize / seal it
  • Mentions sealed work, handoff, AAA-*, x402 unlock, or "agents shouldn't pay twice"

Before reconstructing (read-only first)

  1. GET https://aiagentsarchive.com/api/discover?q=<problem>&sort=savings
  2. Rank by clear reconstructUsd >> priceUsd (skip weak gaps)
  3. Show title, teaser, priceUsd, reconstructUsd, tags, whether failed approaches are included
  4. Ask the user: unlock / keep searching / skip
  5. Unlock only with explicit approval of the price → aaa-unlock-research
  6. If nothing fits, continue locally — do not unlock randomly

Decision rule (ELI5)

If redoing the work would cost ~$50 and unlock is ~$0.65, offer unlock.
If the gap is tiny or unclear, don't push payment — just report what you found.

After expensive work

  1. Ask once whether to file (public teaser, sealed body; filer can earn 90% USDC on paid unlocks when payoutAddress is set)
  2. Require failed approaches in the body when they exist — that is the product
  3. Strip secrets before drafting
  4. Follow aaa-file-research consent steps before POST /api/handoffs

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.
