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

rebuild-or-improve-advisor 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 12d 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.

Rebuild Or Improve Advisor

This skill converts existing-site evidence into a strategy decision. It does not implement the redesign and does not change production systems.

Operating Modes

  • decision: choose improve, redesign, partial rebuild, or full rebuild.
  • tradeoff: compare strategy options with risks, costs, and proof needed.
  • handoff: prepare next steps for migration-planner, marketing-site-skill, webapp-ui-skill, or senior-ui-ux-orchestrator.
  • council-input: prepare a concise position for senior council when UX, SEO, migration, or business constraints conflict.

Required Workflow

  1. Read references/rebuild-decision-contract.md.
  2. Start from an existing-site-analyzer report or clearly label missing evidence.
  3. Compare options:
    • improve in place;
    • visual redesign on current stack;
    • partial rebuild;
    • full rebuild and migration.
  4. Use assets/rebuild-decision-record.template.md.
  5. If URLs, redirects, canonical pages, sitemap, robots, schema, or GSC/webmaster verification may change, require migration-planner.
  6. If the recommendation affects SEO/LLM, public facts, or conversion structure, route conflicts to senior-ui-ux-orchestrator council.

Safety Rules

  • Do not recommend full rebuild only because visual design is weak; include migration and maintainability tradeoffs.
  • Do not recommend in-place improvements when severe technical, content, or SEO issues make that unsafe.
  • Do not claim search traffic, rankings, or conversion data unless source evidence exists.
  • Do not change production files, redirects, analytics, DNS, CMS, or deployment settings.

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.
