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

plain 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

Plain

Restate the supplied text, named passage, or your previous answer when no target is specified. Lead with what happens or what the statement means. Use short sentences and concrete examples where they help.

Preserve conditions, exceptions, uncertainty, and distinctions such as raw input versus validated data. Keep a technical term when its exact meaning matters and explain it briefly. Do not replace it with a misleading analogy.

Stay within the original meaning. Do not add advice, new claims, a lecture about clarity, or a preamble about simplifying. If the source is ambiguous, identify the ambiguity instead of silently choosing an interpretation.

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.
