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

israeli-apartment-hunting 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/rental-budget-calculator.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Israeli Apartment Hunting

Instructions

Step 1: Israeli Rental Market Overview

The Israeli rental market is competitive and fast-moving. Understanding current pricing helps set realistic expectations and budgets.

National averages (2026):

  • National average rent: NIS 4,952/month (based on Q3 2025 data). Early-2026 data shows supply tightened and new-lease asking rents rose further, so treat these figures as a floor and budget above them.
  • National average gross rental yield: 3.1%
City 2-Room (NIS/month) 3-Room (NIS/month) 4-Room (NIS/month)
Tel Aviv (central) 6,500-12,000 8,000-15,000 11,000-20,000
Tel Aviv (south/older) 4,500-6,500 5,500-8,000 7,000-10,000
Jerusalem 3,500-5,500 4,500-7,500 6,000-10,000
Haifa 2,500-4,000 3,500-5,500 4,500-7,000
Be'er Sheva 2,000-3,500 3,000-4,500 3,500-5,500
Herzliya/Ra'anana 5,000-8,000 7,000-11,000 9,000-15,000
Netanya 3,000-5,000 4,500-7,000 5,500-8,500
Petah Tikva 3,500-5,500 5,000-7,500 6,500-9,000

Key market characteristics:

  • Rental contracts are typically 12 months, renewable annually
  • Most apartments are rented unfurnished (without furniture, appliances vary)
  • Demand peaks in summer months (June through September) when students and new olim (immigrants) search
  • Listings can disappear within hours in hot markets like Tel Aviv

Step 2: Search Platforms

Multiple platforms serve the Israeli rental market. Using several simultaneously increases your chances of finding the right apartment.

Platform Type Strengths Hebrew Name
Yad2 Website/App Main Israeli classifieds site for rentals; filters, saved searches, alerts יד2
Madlan Website/App Price history, neighborhood data, building info מדלן
Facebook Groups Social Direct from owners, negotiable, fast קבוצות פייסבוק
Homeless Website English-friendly, popular with olim הומלס
WinWin Website Alternative to Yad2, growing listings וין וין
Real estate agents In-person Access to unlisted properties, local knowledge סוכני נדל"ן

Changes

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.
