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

seo-technical 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 6d 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.

Technical SEO

Audit and fix the layer beneath the content: how search engines crawl, render, index, and trust a site. Stack-agnostic.


When to use

  • Site-wide audit before or after a migration
  • Investigating indexing or ranking drops
  • Setting up SEO foundations on a new site
  • Auditing Core Web Vitals or page experience signals
  • Fixing crawl waste, redirect chains, or canonical issues
  • Setting up multilingual or multi-regional sites

When NOT to use

  • Single-page on-page optimization (use seo-onpage)
  • Keyword strategy or content planning (use seo-keyword)
  • Competitor backlink or SERP analysis (use seo-competitor)
  • Pure performance optimization without SEO context (use performance-optimization)

Required inputs

  • The site URL or staging URL
  • Access to (at minimum) view the rendered HTML, robots.txt, and sitemap
  • Ideally: search console access, server logs, and a crawler

If the site is large (10K+ URLs), confirm whether the audit is a full crawl or a sample.


The framework: 6 layers

Technical SEO has six layers, stacked. A failure in a lower layer breaks everything above it.

1. Crawlability

Can search engines access the URLs?

  • robots.txt does not block important paths
  • No accidental noindex on indexable pages
  • No accidental disallow patterns blocking CSS or JS (rendering breaks)
  • Sitemap is present, returns 200, and lists canonical URLs only
  • Sitemap is referenced in robots.txt
  • No infinite spaces (faceted nav generating endless URLs)
  • Crawl budget is not wasted on low-value URLs

2. Indexability

Of crawlable URLs, which should be indexed?

  • One canonical URL per piece of content (no duplicates)
  • Canonical tags self-reference on canonical pages
  • noindex on staging, search results, filter pages, thank-you pages, internal admin
  • No mixed signals (canonical pointing one way, sitemap another, internal links a third)
  • Pagination handled correctly (rel=next/prev is deprecated, but consistent canonicals matter)
  • Parameter handling deliberate (UTM, session IDs, sort orders)

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.
