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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00023 $0.00883
Opus 5.5 $0.00009 $0.00353

Security

Grade A, and why

read-prd 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.

What it actually says

读 PRD · 方法论

你的任务

读取 PRD 文件(PDF、MD、HTML),提取需求要点,识别可独立交付的任务单元。在对话中输出摘要供用户确认,不写 MD 文件。

执行步骤

1. 文件扫描

用 Glob 扫描 PRD 目录:

  • **/*.pdf — PDF 需求文档
  • **/*.md — Markdown 需求文档
  • **/*.html、**/*.htm — HTML 需求文档
  • 忽略隐藏文件和 .idea/ 等 IDE 目录

2. 逐文件阅读

MD 文件:直接 Read 全部内容

HTML 文件:直接 Read 全部内容

  • 读取时忽略标签、样式、脚本噪音,聚焦正文需求内容

PDF 文件:使用 Read 工具的 pages 参数分页读取

  • 先读第 1 页,判断是否相关
  • 相关则继续读后续页
  • 每次最多读 10 页

内嵌截图/原型是视觉规格的权威来源:PRD 里带标注的 UI 截图、原型图与散文正文同等重要。读到图不要略过,逐张逐元素提取以下视觉规格五要素:

  1. 字段所在列:折进已有列(合并)还是独立新列
  2. 按钮/入口的精确文案:照抄图中原文,不自拟、不改写、不增减字
  3. 元素所在页签/区域:挂到已有页签,还是新建
  4. 筛选项位置:与哪些现有项并列
  5. 字段/筛选的排列顺序

凡图里已给出的位置/文案,即为已定死的规格,不得当作开放项。

3. 信息提取

对每个文件提取:

提取项 说明
任务名称 简短描述(10 字以内)
任务 ID 如 ID1019077(从文件名或内容中提取)
核心需求 这个任务要做什么(1-3 句话)
涉及页面/模块 前端页面、后端模型、数据库表
关键约束 边界条件、依赖关系、特殊规则
视觉规格 有截图/原型时必填:按视觉规格五要素逐元素照图记录;无图则记「正文与图均未给出」

4. 需求摘要输出

按以下格式在对话中输出摘要,向用户确认:

## 需求摘要

共发现 N 个文件,识别 M 个可交付任务:

### 任务 1:<任务名>(IDxxxxxxx)
- **核心需求**:...
- **涉及模块**:...
- **关键约束**:...
- **视觉规格(据截图/原型)**:按五要素记录;无图则写「正文与图均未给出」

### 任务 2:<任务名>(IDxxxxxxx)
- ...

请确认以上理解是否正确,或补充遗漏的需求。

注意事项

  • PDF/HTML 中的标注截图、原型不是配图噪音,须逐元素提取视觉规格
  • 如果 PDF 无法读取,提示用户转换为 MD 或手动粘贴内容
  • HTML 聚焦正文,忽略无关标记
  • Word(.doc/.docx)等二进制格式不支持:提示用户先另存为 PDF/MD
  • 不要遗漏任何文件

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.
