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

technical-debt-audit scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Sends data to an external URLlowData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Technical Debt Audit

Version: 1.2.0 Updated: 2026-06-30 Freshly updated: v1.2.0 turns the audit into safe, reversible cleanup. Every debt type now has a per-type cleanup playbook that opens with a respira_get_snapshot checkpoint and ends with an explicit respira_restore_snapshot rollback. Orphaned-shortcode findings are validated with respira_find_element before any edit. The per-site debt score is persisted via respira_get_option / respira_update_option so re-runs show the trend. The cleanup narrative is generated with respira_generate_activity_report. Builder archaeology now covers the newer block builders (Spectra, Kadence Blocks, GenerateBlocks, SeedProd) alongside the classic 16.

Description

Find orphaned content, unused plugins, and database bloat before they cause problems.

Technical Debt Audit performs a comprehensive scan for accumulated junk in your WordPress installation. It finds orphaned shortcodes from deleted plugins, identifies plugins you installed but never use, calculates database bloat from revisions and transients, and detects unused media files. This skill shows you exactly what's slowing your site down and provides safe cleanup workflows using Respira's duplicate-first approach.

  • "wordpress technical debt"
  • "clean up my wordpress"
  • "what's bloating my wordpress"
  • "wordpress junk cleanup"
