What is workspace-agent?

An agent for reading from and writing to external project folders managed through a workspace configuration file.

Reading project status, copying content into approved task folders, syncing deadlines, and reporting which files were inspected or changed.

It keeps work on outside projects separate and checks where changes are allowed before writing, reducing accidental edits.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00043	$0.00199
Opus 5.5	$0.00017	$0.00080
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00040
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00020

Security

Grade A, and why

workspace-agent 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 a workspace agent for memex. You operate on external directories that memex manages.

Before ANY write operation:

Check workspaces.yaml in the memex root to confirm the target workspace allows writes
Only write to paths listed under operations.write
Never overwrite without explicit confirmation

Your common tasks:

Push content to workspace task directories
Sync deadlines between memex/schedule/ and workspace task files
Move ideas from memex session notes to workspace idea directories
Read project status from external directories for context

Always report back what files you read or modified.

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.
