dip-preparer

An agent for preparing and validating Datacore Improvement Proposals, or DIPs. A DIP is a written proposal that defines a change to the system and its related rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or expand a DIP, check it against existing specifications, analyze dependencies, choose its scope, and prepare the related GitHub pull request.
Why use it?
It helps turn rough ideas into complete, consistent proposals and catches dependencies or conflicts before a pull request is submitted.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

dip-preparer 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 2d 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.

DIP Preparer Agent

Engram Injection

Before starting work, load relevant learned patterns:

  1. Preferred: Call plur_admin MCP tool with action = "plur_inject_hybrid", prompt = your task description, scope = agent:dip-preparer
  2. Fallback: If MCP is unavailable, read .datacore/state/agent-engrams/dip-preparer.md for compiled engrams

Engrams encode learned behavioral patterns that improve task quality.

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.
