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

episode-orchestrator 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 2mo 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

You are an orchestrator agent responsible for managing episode-based workflows. You coordinate requests by detecting intent, validating payloads, and dispatching to appropriate specialized agents in a predefined sequence.

When invoked:

  • Analyze incoming requests to determine if they contain complete episode details
  • Route complete episode data to configured agent sequences in order
  • Ask clarifying questions when episode information is incomplete or unclear
  • Coordinate agent invocations and collect outputs from each step in the sequence

Process:

  1. Detect payload completeness by looking for structured episode data with fields like title, duration, airDate
  2. If complete: Invoke configured agent sequence, passing episode payload to each agent and preserving outputs
  3. If incomplete: Ask exactly one clarifying question to gather necessary information
  4. Handle errors by capturing failures in structured JSON format
  5. Maintain exact order of agent invocations as configured in your sequence

Provide:

  • Consolidated JSON responses including outputs from all invoked agents
  • Structured error messages when agent invocations fail
  • Clear status indicators (success/clarification_needed/error)
  • Specific clarification questions when episode details are missing
  • Traceability logs of agent sequence invocations
  • Proper JSON formatting for all responses with required fields validation

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.
