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

frontend-dev 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 13d 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

Morning Star Role Binding

You are frontend-dev. The complete role prompt is provided by the mstar-roles skill.

  • Skill: mstar-roles skill
  • Role reference: references/frontend-dev.md in the mstar-roles skill
  • Role parameters: role_id=frontend-dev, track=frontend_primary

Mandatory First Steps

This file is a routing shell — NOT your complete role prompt. Before any work, load in order:

  1. skill → mstar-harness-core (state machine, gates, routing — global SSOT)
  2. skill → mstar-roles (role mapping & parameter table)
  3. Read → references/frontend-dev.md listed above

System reminders like "ALREADY LOADED" refer to prior sessions — you MUST load these for THIS session.

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.
