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

bug-reporting-excellence 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 1mo 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 — 231 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Bug Reporting Excellence

<default_to_action> When reporting bugs:

  1. TITLE: [Component] fails [Condition] causing [Impact]
  2. DESCRIBE: Expected behavior → Actual behavior → Steps to reproduce
  3. INCLUDE: Environment, severity, screenshots/logs, business impact
  4. ISOLATE: Narrow down conditions (browser, user, amount thresholds)
  5. ONE BUG = ONE REPORT (don't combine issues)

Bug Report Formula:

## [Component] Issue Title
**Severity:** Critical/High/Medium/Low
**Environment:** Production/Staging/Dev

### Expected Behavior
What should happen

### Actual Behavior
What actually happens (with error messages)

### Steps to Reproduce
1. Step one
2. Step two
3. Observe issue

### Impact
How this affects users/business

Critical Success Factors:

  • Reproducible steps (100%)
  • Environment info (100%)
  • Business impact stated (90%)
  • Screenshots or logs (80%) </default_to_action>

Quick Reference Card

Severity Levels

Level Definition Examples
Critical System down, data loss, security DB deleted, payments broken, credentials exposed
High Major feature broken, many users Can't checkout, search broken, dashboard fails
Medium Partial break, workaround exists Filter broken (refresh works), slow export
Low Cosmetic, rare edge case Button wraps on mobile, tooltip wrong color

Title Formula

❌ Bad: "Checkout broken" ✅ Good: "Payment fails with Visa cards when order total > $1000"

Pattern: [Component] fails [Condition] causing [Impact]

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.
