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

no-history-in-output 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.

What it actually says

No History in Output

Project-facing documents describe the current state of the thing, not the process that produced it.

Rules

  • Never include labels like "(unchanged)", "(updated)", "(new)", "(revised)", or similar edit-tracking annotations in headings or body text.
  • Never narrate the discussion that led to a decision (e.g. "we considered X but decided against it," "originally this was Y, now it's Z," "per your feedback...").
  • Never include changelogs, version history, "what changed" sections, or meta-commentary about the conversation, unless the user explicitly asks for a changelog as a deliverable in its own right.
  • Write every section as a plain statement of fact about the current design/plan/content, as if writing it fresh with full knowledge of the final decision — not as a diff against a prior version.
  • If a section documents a resolved tradeoff or an intentional design choice, state the choice and its rationale plainly (e.g. "X is an accepted tradeoff because..."), without referencing that alternatives were debated or rejected earlier in conversation.
  • An "update this doc" request re-derives a clean as-is document — it does not layer edit notes onto the previous version.

When NOT to apply

  • The user explicitly asks for a changelog, revision history, or "show me what changed."
  • The document's entire purpose is to record a process over time — a friction log entry (hedgehog friction add), a commit message, or meeting notes. Those describe what happened and when on purpose.
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.
