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

owasp-top10 scanned grade A 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 11d 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.

OWASP Top 10 Scan

Scan the codebase for the OWASP Top 10 (2021 edition) most critical web application security risks.

When to Use

  • Before every production deployment
  • During code reviews touching auth, data access, or user input handling
  • As part of periodic security audits
  • When preparing for penetration testing

A01: Broken Access Control

Risk: Users acting beyond their intended permissions.

# Missing auth decorators/guards on endpoints
@(Get|Post|Put|Delete|Patch)\(
# Cross-reference: each must have @UseGuards or @Public

# Endpoints marked public that shouldn't be
@Public|@AllowAnonymous|@SkipAuth|@no_auth_required

# Direct object reference without ownership check
params\.id|req\.params\.\w+Id
# Verify: does the handler check ownership before returning data?

A02: Cryptographic Failures

Risk: Weak or missing encryption for sensitive data.

# Weak hash algorithms
(md5|sha1|createHash\('md5'|createHash\('sha1'|hashlib\.md5|hashlib\.sha1)

# Hardcoded secrets
(password|secret|api_key|apiKey|token|credential)\s*[:=]\s*['"][^'"]{8,}['"]

# Weak encryption
(DES|3DES|RC4|RC2|Blowfish)
createCipher\(|createCipheriv\('des|createCipheriv\('rc4

A03: Injection

Risk: Untrusted data sent as part of a command or query.

# Code injection
eval\(|new Function\(|exec\(|execSync\(

# SQL injection

v-html=|ng-bind-html=|\{\{.*\|.*safe\}\}

# Command injection

A04: Insecure Design

Risk: Missing or ineffective security controls by design.

# Missing CSRF protection

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.

owasp-top10 is a skill published in the GitHub repository rico2035/security-skills (5 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 1,441 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (makes network calls, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
