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

yandex-webmaster 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 5d 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.

Yandex Webmaster

Yandex is the dominant engine in Russia and a major one across the CIS, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and parts of Central Asia. Its ranking model differs enough from Google that a Google-only SEO plan underperforms there. This skill covers the Yandex Webmaster console, the Webmaster API v4, and the Yandex-specific ranking levers (geo, commercial factors, behavioral signals, SQI). For the Google side of a multi-engine site, pair this with the search-console skill — don't duplicate Google work here; this file is the delta for Yandex.

Console UI labels and API field names below are current as of Jun 2026. Yandex revises both periodically — verify exact menu paths at the official help (yandex.com/support/webmaster/en/) and API contracts at yandex.com/dev/webmaster/doc/en/.

Quick orientation: Yandex vs Google

Factor Google Yandex
Backlinks Primary signal Important but less dominant; editorial/topical links weighted, link-spam aggressively filtered
Text relevance Semantic, embeddings-based More literal lexical matching + Cyrillic morphology (cases, declensions)
Commercial factors Implicit quality cues Explicit ranking factors for commercial queries (prices, contacts, delivery, assortment)
User behavior Moderate signal Heavy signal — CTR in SERP, dwell time, pogo-sticking, last-click satisfaction
Regional targeting IP + hreflang heuristics Explicit region assignment per site/subdomain + Yandex Business listing
Site quality No public number SQI (Site Quality Index / ИКС) shown in Webmaster, recalculated ~monthly
Ecosystem Standalone Maps, Business, Market, Dzen feed presence factor into trust

Practical implication: in Yandex you optimize the page-in-SERP experience (title/snippet CTR, fast satisfying landing) and the commercial completeness of pages, not just on-page text and links.

1. Add a site & verify ownership

Add the site in Yandex Webmaster, then verify management rights using one of the three current methods (as of Jun 2026):

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.
