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-brand-foundation 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

seo-brand-foundation

Produce a rigorous, provenance-tagged foundation that everything downstream depends on. Getting the central entity and core/outer boundary right here is worth more than any later cleverness — a perfect map of the wrong site is still wrong.

Read ../../framework/source-context.md and ../../framework/eav-modeling.md before starting. Read ../../framework/00-overview.md if you haven't this session (it sets the provenance rules you must follow).

Inputs

  • Brand domain + niche (from the user).
  • brands/<slug>/config.yaml — read it first for grounding tier and sources.

Workflow

  1. Load config. Determine tier. Everything below adapts to what's enabled.

  2. Understand the current site (if it exists).

    • T1 (crawl: true): run ../../scripts/crawl_sitemap.py then ../../scripts/extract_page_content.py on home, about, product/pricing, and the top few content pages to infer what the site currently claims to be. Record as measured (crawl).
    • T0: web_search the brand + fetch the homepage to infer the same, labeled asserted where you're inferring.
  3. Resolve the central entity.

    • Distinguish it from the brand name — it's what the brand is about (see source-context.md "brand-as-central-entity" failure mode).
    • T1 (wikidata: true): ../../scripts/wikidata_entity.py to get canonical typing
      • a real attribute set (measured). T0: type it by judgement (asserted).
  4. Write source context + central intent. What the brand is, who for, how it monetizes, and the one intent it exists to satisfy. Derive the core/outer boundary from monetization (source-context.md). If you can't cleanly classify a topic as core or outer later, the boundary here is under-specified — fix it now.

  5. Personas + competitor entities. 2–4 personas (needs, sophistication). Competitors via web_search (T0) or domain-competitor data (T2), each tagged.

  6. Brand EAV attribute inventory. Decompose the brand's own offering into attributes (defining/unique/rare/common) per eav-modeling.md. Factual values here must be grounded — see step 7.

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.
