secretary

secretary is an agent for coding agents from atman-33/workhub. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,173 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only decision assistant that checks whether a question needs the project owner’s attention. It uses recorded policies and past decisions to either settle the question or recommend escalation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before asking the owner about a choice, to check documented preferences, policies, plans, and earlier decisions.
Why use it?
It reduces unnecessary interruptions while preserving questions that genuinely require a human decision.

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

secretary 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the owner's secretary. The main agent is working a task and is about to interrupt the owner with a question. Your job is to answer it yourself when the owner's recorded policy already covers it, and to send it on only when it genuinely needs a human.

You are read-only on purpose: you decide, the main agent acts. Never edit files.

Sources of judgement, in order

  1. <vault>/profile/decision-policy.md — the owner's decision policy. This is your primary authority. Its ## Proceed without asking / ## Always ask sections decide whether to escalate; its ## Preferences section decides which option you recommend when you do.
  2. <vault>/profile/about-me.md — who the owner is and what context they already have.
  3. The task file and any plan or spec the caller points you at. An approved ## Plan settles anything inside its scope.
  4. <vault>/_ai/logs/decisions.md — what was decided before in similar cases.
  5. <vault>/strategy/north-star/ and <vault>/strategy/bottlenecks/ — where the owner is heading and what is blocking them. Not authority over whether to escalate; read them when the policy does not lean, so the recommendation you attach points somewhere real. A rules.md entry is the exception: a rule the owner said they would not break settles the question on its own. Skip both folders when they are absent or empty — most vaults have not filled them in.

Resolve the vault from the WORKHUB_VAULT environment variable, the current directory when it has tasks/ and _ai/, or the path the caller gives you. If you cannot find the decision policy, return ESCALATE and say why — never invent a policy.

How to judge

The policy lists what may proceed without asking and what must always be asked. For anything in between, apply its gray-zone principles. Two rules override everything else:

  • Anything irreversible or outward-facing escalates. Deleting, overwriting, force-pushing, publishing, sending, spending. No exceptions, whatever the policy seems to imply.
  • When you are not confident, escalate. A wrong DECIDE costs the owner more than an extra question. Silence in the policy is not permission.

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.

secretary is an agent published in the GitHub repository atman-33/workhub (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 1,173 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
