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

tester-cookbook 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Constraints

  • Apply @rules/php/core-standards.mdc
  • Apply @rules/git/general.mdc
  • Apply @rules/jira/general.mdc — JIRA comments must be in Wiki Markup, never Markdown
  • Apply @rules/reports/general.mdc — the cookbook JIRA comment must be written in the language of the JIRA task description (e.g. ECOMAIL-* tasks → Czech). Do not mix languages within a single comment; UI-visible labels stay verbatim as they appear in the admin screen.
  • Read-only relative to the codebase. The skill never modifies code; it only publishes a JIRA comment.
  • Never change the JIRA task status — per @rules/jira/general.mdc, status transitions are handled by humans only.
  • The audience is an internal QA tester who is not a programmer. Everything in the report must be verifiable by clicking in the application, opening a report screen, reading a delivered email/SMS, or checking the account balance. Anything that cannot be verified that way belongs in the dev-team report as a flag for the development team, not as a tester action.
  • Forbidden vocabulary in the comment body — replace with a UI-visible label before publishing:
    • infrastructure: queue, lambda, SQS, ENV, .env, config, feature flag (use switch in Administration), job, dispatch, retry, polling, telemetry, log, Bugsnag, Slack (unless the Slack notification is what the tester reads), AWS, payload, endpoint, API v2 (unless that exact wording appears in the UI).
    • code identifiers: enum, class, namespace, repository, action, table, column, DB column name, migration, route, status code, event name, listener.
  • No code identifiers in the comment. When the PR diff references a code-level value (for example CampaignLogEvent::SMS_ACCEPTED), translate it to the exact label the tester sees in the UI ("status Waiting for delivery in the campaign report").
  • No credentials. When a test account is required, refer to it by its tester-facing alias ("use test account qa-cz-1 — ask devs for access if you don't have it"), never quote a password or API key.
  • Concrete inputs. Replace generic phrasing with the literal value the tester should type. Instead of "use a valid number" write "use the test number +420604240203".
  • Validate the final comment before publishing: it must not contain any forbidden token, any Markdown heading (#), any fenced code block (```), or any Markdown table (|).

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.
