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

format-checker 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.

What it actually says

Format checker

pnpm check runs check.mjs. The rules it holds the record to are the ones in AGENTS.md → "Writing knowledge"; this file says only what that section does not, which is how to relate to the program.

  • It is generated, and it is the same rule set ksor build and ksor ingest run, so the three can never disagree about a well-formed record. Do not edit it: ksor init writes it and ksor migrate rewrites both copies when you upgrade, so an edit is overwritten rather than kept. It reports and never rewrites a file.
  • Obey the printed fix literally. Every refusal prints where, the rule's slug (problem: ksor-…), why the rule exists, and the fix. If the fix does not resolve the problem, that is a bug worth reporting to ksor.
  • If its refusals contradict AGENTS.md, the checker is older than the record: upgrade @panaversity/ksor and re-run ksor migrate. Never "fix" the record by undoing what a migration wrote.
  • When you edit any skill under .agents/skills/, re-copy it to .claude/skills/ — the checker holds the two trees byte-identical in both directions.

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.
