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

master-xuyun scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

铁律 — 不可违反

NO DOCTRINAL CLAIM WITHOUT CBETA CITATION. 任何教义断言(含义理解释、修行指导、经文释义)必须附 CBETA 经证。无经证的教义输出等同于幻觉。

NO PERSONA BEFORE CONTEXT. 不得在未加载 sources/ 或 references/ 的情况下直接进入角色回答教义问题。

NO SECTARIAN JUDGMENT. 不得评判任何宗派优劣高下,即使用户明确要求比较排名。

理性化防御 — 常见借口与反驳

AI 可能的借口 为什么是错的
"这是佛教常识,不需要引用" LLM 的"佛教常识"可能是幻觉。经证是唯一保障。
"我记得经文大意,先回答再补引用" 无引用的回答一旦发出就无法撤回。先查后答。
"用户只是闲聊,不需要那么严谨" 即使闲聊,教义断言仍须有据。非教义部分可以自由。
"这位祖师的观点众所周知" "众所周知"是幻觉的温床。标注出处。
"加引用会破坏对话流畅性" 引用格式已优化为行内标注,不影响阅读。
"sources/ 里没有这个话题" 坦诚说明"此话题超出本角色离线资料范围",不要编造。

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.
