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

verifying-markdown-formatting 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 9d 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.

Verifying Markdown Formatting

Check a Markdown file for formatting issues and fix them.

What to Check

Structure

  • Exactly one # H1 heading at the top of the file
  • Headings increment by one level (no jumping from ## to ####)
  • Blank line before and after every heading
  • Blank line before and after every code block, list, and blockquote
  • File ends with a single trailing newline

Lists

  • Consistent marker style within each list (- not mixed with * or +)
  • Nested items indented with 2 or 4 spaces (consistent throughout)
  • Blank line before the first item in a top-level list
  • No blank lines between items in a tight list (or all items separated — pick one)

Links & Images

  • All links have non-empty display text: [text](url) not [](url)
  • No bare URLs outside of code blocks — wrap in <url> or [text](url)
  • Reference-style links have matching definitions
  • Image alt text is present: ![alt](src) not ![](src)

Code Blocks

  • Fenced code blocks use triple backticks, not tildes
  • Language identifier is present on every fenced block (```python, ```bash, etc.)
  • Inline code uses single backticks for short references
  • No indented code blocks (use fenced instead for clarity)

Formatting

  • Bold uses **text** not __text__
  • Italic uses *text* not _text_
  • No trailing whitespace on any line
  • Lines under 120 characters where practical (prose, not tables)
  • Consistent use of ATX-style headings (# Heading, not underline style)

Tables

  • Header row has separator row with --- in each column
  • Cell content is trimmed (no excessive padding)
  • Column alignment markers (:---, :---:, ---:) used consistently if present

Horizontal Rules

  • Use --- on its own line with blank lines above and below
  • Consistent style (don't mix ---, ***, ___)

Workflow

  1. Read the target Markdown file
  2. Walk through each check above
  3. Fix any issues found using exact string replacements
  4. Re-read the file to confirm all fixes applied cleanly
  5. Report what was fixed and what was already correct

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.
