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 C, and why

policyengine-app scanned grade C with 2 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- When `bun install` fails, try at most 2 fixes, then ask. Never `rm -rf node_modules`,

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

- **`curl` is NOT verification.** An SPA (and a streamed Next page) returns a 200 HTML shell

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PolicyEngine app v2

PolicyEngine/policyengine-app-v2 is the frontend served at policyengine.org. It is mid-migration: a Next.js 15 App Router host lives in website/ and is the live apex, while a legacy Vite SPA in app/ still owns the calculator surface and is being ported page by page. Verify the current stack from package.json files before trusting any summary — this repo moves fast.

Monorepo layout

Bun workspaces + Turbo (packageManager: [email protected], root turbo.json). Workspaces: packages/*, app, website, calculator-app.

Path What Bundler
website/ @policyengine/website — Next.js 15 App Router host (live apex, marketing/research/tools) Next 15 + Turbopack
app/ policyengine-app-v2 — legacy Vite SPA (calculator: policies, households, reports, simulations) Vite 6
calculator-app/ standalone calculator workspace Vite
packages/ shared workspace packages —

Root scripts run through Turbo: bun run build → turbo run build; bun run dev runs the Next host (scripts/dev-server-next.mjs); bun run dev:legacy runs the Vite app.

Tech stack (verified from package.json)

There is no third-party component framework — UI is built from radix-ui primitives plus local components. Do not add one.

  • website/: next ^15.3.3, radix-ui ^1.4.3, @tabler/icons-react, tailwindcss v4 (@tailwindcss/postcss), class-variance-authority, react 19, react-plotly.js (maps), framer-motion, fuse.js, react-markdown.
  • app/: vite 6, react-router-dom 7, @tanstack/react-query, @reduxjs/toolkit + react-redux, recharts ^3.7.0, @tabler/icons-react, tailwindcss v4 (@tailwindcss/vite), Storybook.
  • Both pin @policyengine/ui-kit ^0.4.0. See the policyengine-design skill for its API.

useDisclosure / useMediaQuery / useViewportSize in app/src/hooks/ are local reimplementations — not a dependency.

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.
