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

Research Camps 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 7d 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.

Research Camps

Overview

Locate research directory: Read .claude/kids-camp-planner.local.md to get the research_dir path (default: camp-research). All user data paths below are relative to this directory. The family profile is at <research_dir>/family-profile.md.

Discover, evaluate, and document camp providers for a family's area, creating structured provider files in the <research_dir>/providers/ directory. Each provider gets its own markdown file with standardized information for easy comparison. Providers are cross-referenced from period-specific schedule files (summer, March break, PA days).

Research Workflow

Step 1: Define Search Criteria

Read the family profile from <research_dir>/family-profile.md to determine:

  • Home address and maximum commute time
  • Children's ages (determines eligible programs)
  • Children's interests (guides specialty camp search)
  • Budget range (filters out unaffordable options)
  • Before/after care needs
  • Lunch preferences

Step 2: Conduct Research

Use web search to find camp providers. Search in this order:

1. Municipal programs (best value):

  • Search: "[municipality] summer camp registration [year]"
  • Search: "[municipality] recreation programs children [year]"
  • Check the municipal recreation portal directly

2. Established organizations:

  • Search: "YMCA day camp [city/area] [year]"
  • Search: "Boys and Girls Club [city/area] camps"
  • Search: "[city] community centre summer programs"

3. Private and specialty camps:

  • Search: "day camps near [home address area] [year]"
  • Search: "[interest] camp [city] children" (e.g., "robotics camp Toronto children")
  • Search: "best day camps [area] [year]"
  • Check Ontario Camps Association directory: ontariocamps.ca

4. Niche and interest-based:

  • Search based on each child's interests
  • Check local sports clubs, art studios, music schools for camp programs
  • Look at university/college campus programs

Step 3: Create Provider Files

For each camp provider found, create a markdown file in <research_dir>/providers/ using the standard template.

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.
