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

ai 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.

AI-Assisted Development Standards

Guidance for implementing AI-assisted development requirements including context configuration, workflow integration, and quality practices.

Tooling

Available Tools: If using Claude Code, the pr-review-toolkit provides AI-powered code review agents. The feature-dev plugin offers guided feature development workflows.

AI Context Configuration

Context Files (MUST)

Projects using AI assistants MUST maintain context files:

File Purpose Location
CLAUDE.md Claude-specific instructions Repository root
.cursorrules Cursor AI configuration Repository root
AI_CONTEXT.md Generic AI context Repository root
.github/copilot-instructions.md GitHub Copilot .github/

Context File Content (MUST)

AI context files MUST include:

Section Content
Project overview Brief description and purpose
Architecture Key patterns and structures
Conventions Naming, formatting, style rules
Constraints What AI should NOT do
Key files Important files to understand

Context File Template

# Project Context for AI Assistants

## Overview

Brief project description and purpose.

## Architecture

- Pattern: [MVC/Clean Architecture/etc.]
- Key directories and their purposes
- Core abstractions

## Conventions

- Naming: camelCase for functions, PascalCase for types
- Error handling: Use Result types
- Testing: Unit tests alongside source

## Constraints

- Do NOT modify configuration files without asking
- Do NOT add new dependencies without approval
- Always run tests after changes

## Key Files

- `src/lib.rs` - Main library entry
- `src/config.rs` - Configuration handling

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.
