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

code-review 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 192 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Maintainer-Grade Code Review

An open-source review does two things at once: it protects the codebase, and it decides whether this person contributes again. Most reviews are competent at the first and terrible at the second.

Read in this order

Never start at the diff. Start at intent.

  1. The linked issue. Was this problem agreed to be worth solving? A perfect implementation of an unwanted feature must be closed, and it is far kinder to discover that in the first minute than the fortieth.
  2. The PR description. What does the author claim it does?
  3. The tests. They tell you what the author believes the behavior is. Read them before the implementation — you will review the implementation more honestly.
  4. The public API diff. New exports, changed signatures, changed defaults, changed error types. This is where irreversible mistakes live (see api-design).
  5. The implementation.
  6. What's missing — docs, changelog entry, migration note, the test for the error path they did not think about.
gh pr checkout 123
gh pr diff 123 --name-only          # scope at a glance
gh pr view 123 --json title,body,additions,deletions,files,author
make test                            # run it locally; CI green is necessary, not sufficient

Severity, stated explicitly

Unlabeled feedback makes contributors guess which comments block the merge. Prefix every comment:

Prefix Meaning Author must
blocking: Must change before merge Fix it
question: I don't understand yet Answer; may resolve to nothing
suggestion: Better, but your call Decide
nit: Style/taste, non-blocking Ignore freely
praise: This is good Nothing — but say it anyway

Reserve blocking for: correctness bugs, security issues, data loss, breaking changes without a migration path, missing tests on new behavior, and public API mistakes. Everything else is a suggestion. A review where every comment is blocking is a rewrite request wearing a costume.

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.
