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

dependency-doctor 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 9d 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.

Dependency Doctor

Comprehensive dependency health analysis and upgrade planning.

Core Workflow

  1. Scan manifests: Analyze package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, go.mod, etc.
  2. Check versions: Identify outdated packages against latest stable versions
  3. Detect issues: Find duplicates, security vulnerabilities, deprecated packages, heavy bundles
  4. Assess risk: Evaluate breaking changes and version compatibility
  5. Prioritize: Rank issues by severity (security > performance > maintenance)
  6. Generate upgrade path: Create safe, incremental update plan
  7. Recommend pins: Suggest version constraints to avoid future issues

Analysis Categories

Security Issues (Critical)

  • Known CVEs in dependencies
  • Unmaintained packages (no updates >2 years)
  • Packages with security advisories
  • Transitive dependency vulnerabilities

Outdated Packages (High)

  • Major versions behind (breaking changes)
  • Minor versions behind (new features)
  • Patch versions behind (bug fixes)

Duplicate Dependencies (Medium)

  • Multiple versions of same package
  • Overlapping functionality (lodash + underscore)
  • Can be deduplicated

Heavy Dependencies (Medium)

  • Large bundle sizes (>500KB)
  • Unnecessary peer dependencies
  • Better alternatives available

Risky Combinations (Medium)

  • Known incompatible version pairs
  • Conflicting peer dependencies
  • Framework version mismatches

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.
