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

seo-technical 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 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.

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.

SEO Technical

When to Use

  • Running a technical SEO audit on an existing site.
  • Diagnosing why pages are not being indexed or ranked.
  • Optimizing Core Web Vitals or page speed.
  • Setting up site architecture (sitemaps, robots.txt, canonicalization).
  • Implementing structured data / schema markup.
  • Managing AI crawler access via robots.txt.
  • Preparing a new site or migration for SEO readiness.
  • Reviewing JavaScript rendering and its impact on indexation.

Context Required

  • From startup-context: product description, target audience, primary keywords, current domain and site structure.
  • From the user: site URL, access to Google Search Console data (if available), specific pages of concern, known issues, tech stack (static site, SPA, WordPress, etc.), whether the site has been previously audited.

Workflow

Audit across 9 technical dimensions. Score on a 100-point scale with category breakdowns.

  1. Crawlability audit — Foundation; nothing else matters if search engines cannot crawl the site.
    • Check robots.txt for unintended disallow rules.
    • Verify XML sitemap exists, is submitted to Search Console, and is up to date.
    • Identify crawl errors (4xx, 5xx status codes).
    • Check for orphan pages (no internal links pointing to them).
    • Audit redirect chains — flatten to single hops. Chains of 3+ waste crawl budget and dilute link equity.
    • For sites with 10,000+ pages, analyze crawl budget efficiency and remove low-value pages from the index.
  2. Indexation audit — Ensure crawled pages are actually indexed.
    • Check site:domain.com results vs. expected page count.
    • Look for noindex tags applied unintentionally.
    • Identify duplicate content issues and missing canonical tags.
    • Check for thin content pages that may be filtered out.
    • Review index coverage report in Search Console for excluded pages.
  3. Security and HTTPS — HTTPS is a ranking signal and a trust requirement.
    • Verify HTTPS everywhere with proper redirects from HTTP.
    • Check for mixed content issues.
    • Validate SSL certificate and HSTS headers.
  4. URL structure — Short, descriptive, hyphenated URLs without parameters.
    • Consistent URL patterns across the site.
    • No duplicate content from URL variations (trailing slashes, www vs. non-www).
    • Self-referencing canonical tags on every page.
  5. Mobile optimization — As of July 2024, Google crawls and indexes ALL websites exclusively with the mobile Googlebot user-agent. Mobile-first is not optional.
    • Mobile and desktop content parity is mandatory.
    • Test with mobile-friendly tools.
    • Responsive design, no horizontal scroll, touch targets properly sized.
  6. Core Web Vitals — Google uses these as ranking signals. Current targets:
    • LCP (Largest Contentful Paint): Target under 2.5 seconds. Fixes: optimize hero images, implement lazy loading, use CDN, reduce server response time.
    • INP (Interaction to Next Paint): Target under 200ms. INP replaced FID in March 2024. Fixes: reduce JavaScript execution time, break up long tasks, optimize event handlers.
    • CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift): Target under 0.1. Fixes: set explicit dimensions on images/embeds, avoid injecting content above existing content, use font-display: swap.
    • Check for render-blocking CSS/JS, unoptimized images, excessive third-party scripts.
  7. Structured data — Implement schema markup for rich results.
    • Organization schema on the homepage.
    • Article/BlogPosting schema on content pages.
    • Product schema on product pages.
    • FAQ schema where applicable (boosts SERP real estate).
    • BreadcrumbList schema for navigation clarity.
    • Validate with Google's Rich Results Test.
  8. JavaScript rendering — Critical for SPAs and JS-heavy sites.
    • Serve canonical tags, robots directives, and structured data in initial server-rendered HTML. Google may not reliably process these if injected via JavaScript.
    • Verify server-side rendering or pre-rendering is in place for critical content.
    • Test what Googlebot actually sees vs. what users see.
  9. AI crawler management — Managing AI crawlers via robots.txt is a critical 2025-2026 consideration.
    • GPTBot (OpenAI), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), PerplexityBot, Bytespider (ByteDance), Google-Extended
    • Blocking Google-Extended does NOT affect Google Search indexing or AI Overviews — only Gemini training data.
    • Decide per-crawler based on business needs: allow, block, or rate-limit.

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.
