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

tech-debt-th 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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to tech-debt — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Tech Debt Management

Systematically identify, categorize, and prioritize technical debt.

Categories

Type Examples Risk
Code debt Duplicated logic, poor abstractions, magic numbers Bugs, slow development
Architecture debt Monolith that should be split, wrong data store Scaling limits
Test debt Low coverage, flaky tests, missing integration tests Regressions ship
Dependency debt Outdated libraries, unmaintained dependencies Security vulns
Documentation debt Missing runbooks, outdated READMEs, tribal knowledge Onboarding pain
Infrastructure debt Manual deploys, no monitoring, no IaC Incidents, slow recovery

Prioritization Framework

Score each item on:

  • Impact: How much does it slow the team down? (1-5)
  • Risk: What happens if we don't fix it? (1-5)
  • Effort: How hard is the fix? (1-5, inverted — lower effort = higher priority)

Priority = (Impact + Risk) x (6 - Effort)

Output

Produce a prioritized list with estimated effort, business justification for each item, and a phased remediation plan that can be done alongside feature work.

Changes

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.
