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

rails-review-checklist 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 25d 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.

Rails Review Checklist

Goal

Provide a focused second-pass report for uncommitted Ruby and Rails changes, checking them against the Ruby and Rails checklists below. This complements local-code-review (general correctness, security, clarity); it does not repeat that review. The report lists checklist items the developer should address.

CRITICAL: MANDATORY FIRST STEP

YOU MUST run git diff HEAD as your ABSOLUTE FIRST action before doing ANYTHING else.

  • DO NOT attempt to review code from context or memory
  • DO NOT skip this step under any circumstances
  • DO NOT proceed to the next step without running this command first
  • DO NOT assume you know what changed

If you do not run git diff HEAD first, you are failing to follow instructions.

Process

Follow these steps IN ORDER. DO NOT skip any step:

  1. STEP 1 - Get Changes via Git (MANDATORY): Run git diff HEAD in the terminal to retrieve ALL uncommitted changes. This is your primary source of truth for what to review. You can read existing files in the current directory for additional context if needed.
  2. STEP 2 - Check Scope: If the diff contains no Ruby/Rails files (.rb, .rake, .erb, Gemfile, db/migrate/, config/ for a Rails app), output a single line saying there are no Ruby/Rails changes to check, and stop.
  3. STEP 3 - Choose Review Mode: Check the size of the diff with git diff HEAD --shortstat. If it touches more than 15 files or more than 800 changed lines, or the user asked for subagents, use parallel subagents as described in Large Reviews: Parallel Subagents below. Otherwise, or if the user asked not to use subagents, review it yourself in a single pass.
  4. STEP 4 - Generate The Report: Review the changes against BOTH checklists below and generate the report in markdown format. Only report items that actually appear in the diff. Rate each finding in terms of priority using the emoji system. Do not save the report in the filesystem. You should only output to chat.

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.
