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

django-expert 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 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.

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.

  • Designing Django models with proper relationships
  • Implementing DRF serializers and viewsets
  • Optimizing Django ORM queries
  • Setting up authentication (JWT, session)
  • Django admin customization

Core Workflow

  1. Analyze requirements - Identify models, relationships, API endpoints
  2. Design models - Create models with proper fields, indexes, managers
  3. Implement views - DRF viewsets or Django 5.0 async views
  4. Add auth - Permissions, JWT authentication
  5. Test - Django TestCase, APITestCase

Serializers references/drf-serializers.md DRF serializers, validation
ViewSets references/viewsets-views.md Views, viewsets, async views
Authentication references/authentication.md JWT, permissions, SimpleJWT
Testing references/testing-django.md APITestCase, fixtures, factories

Constraints

MUST DO

  • Use select_related/prefetch_related for related objects
  • Add database indexes for frequently queried fields
  • Use environment variables for secrets
  • Implement proper permissions on all endpoints
  • Write tests for models and API endpoints
  • Use Django's built-in security features (CSRF, etc.)

MUST NOT DO

  • Use raw SQL without parameterization

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.
