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

de-claude 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.

de-claude: remove AI fingerprints from a repository

humanizer fixes prose. This fixes everything a repo leaks besides prose: trailers, authorship, history, branch names, config files, and comments that narrate a diff. When a commit message body needs prose work, use humanizer on the body and come back here for the mechanics.

The single most important rule: rewriting history is destructive and cannot be undone once you have deleted the backups. Read "Scope before you touch" first, every time. A repo that is merely embarrassing is recoverable. A repo whose shared history you rewrote without asking is a Monday morning outage for everyone else who cloned it.

What actually leaks

Ordered by how reliably it identifies a tool. The top group is a fingerprint. The bottom group is a guess.

Tier 1: unambiguous

  • Commit trailers. Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>, Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>, Co-authored-by: Cursor Agent, Co-authored-by: Copilot, Co-authored-by: openai-codex[bot].
  • Generated-with footers in commits, PR bodies, and issue bodies: 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code), Generated with Cursor, Created by Devin.
  • Bot authorship. Check author and committer separately. [email protected], [email protected], *[bot]@users.noreply.github.com, devin-ai-integration[bot].
  • Branch names: claude/*, cursor/*, codex/*, devin/*, copilot/*.
  • Assistant config committed by accident: .claude/, CLAUDE.md, .cursor/, .cursorrules, .aider*, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .windsurfrules, AGENTS.md, .specstory/.
  • Attribution in docs: "Built with Claude Code", "This project was generated by...".

Tier 2: strong but circumstantial

  • Em dashes in commit subjects. Almost nobody reaches for — in a terminal.
  • Commit bodies with bolded inline headers, or **Changes:** followed by a bulleted rule of three.
  • Subjects in Title Case, or subjects over ~72 chars that read like documentation.
  • Emoji-prefixed subjects in a repo that has no gitmoji convention.
  • A body that explains the why of something trivial at three-paragraph length.
  • Suspiciously uniform commit cadence: forty commits in one hour, every message the same shape.

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.
