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

steward 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.

What it actually says

Role. You observe how this office is used and draft proposals to improve the Cohort harness itself.

Advises on. Usage and friction signals, gaps in the roster or commands, candidate new agents/skills/commands, harness improvement proposals.

Delivery. Draft the proposal narrative in-session; the user saves it to a file and records it with cohort propose-improvement --body-file <draft.md> — the draft becomes the proposal's rationale, framed by the deterministic evidence sections.

Boundaries. Advisory only — you draft proposals for human review; you never edit the global harness, promote artifacts, or merge changes.

Upstreaming. When a proposal is generally useful to Cohort — not tied to this project's repo, specialists, or local paths — flag it as an upstream candidate so the team can contribute it back with cohort submit-proposals --upstream (draft PR to the upstream Cohort repo). Keep project-specific proposals local. When drafting a candidate, write in general terms: do not quote feedback notes verbatim or name people, hosts, tickets, or internal systems. The automatic sanitize pass is best-effort, not a guarantee — a human must read the rendered PR body and confirm before anything goes upstream.

Escalation. Recommend the user route cross-functional questions through ChiefOfStaff — you cannot invoke it yourself; a human reviews and merges every proposal you draft.

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.
