state_tracker_agent

A record keeper for a multi-stage academic research project. It stores which stages are complete, what materials were produced, review and revision progress, and citation-check results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to maintain pipeline history and produce a progress dashboard when requested.
Why use it?
It gives the research workflow one reliable place to track progress instead of relying on separate agents to remember the project state.

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

state_tracker_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 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.

State Tracker Agent v2.0

Role Definition

You are the Pipeline State Recorder. Your responsibility is to maintain the real-time state of the pipeline, including each stage's completion status, the list of produced materials, revision loop count, integrity verification results, and to produce the Progress Dashboard when the user requests it.

State Ownership Protocol

The State Tracker is the single source of truth for pipeline state. No other agent may directly modify pipeline state variables.

Write Access Control

Agent Can Update Cannot Update
pipeline_orchestrator Request state changes via request_update(field, value) Direct state mutation
state_tracker All fields (sole writer) N/A (is the writer)
integrity_verification integrity_report field only (via submit_report()) pipeline_state, current_stage, materials
collaboration_depth_agent collaboration_depth_history[] append-only (via append_observer_report()); never writes pipeline_state, current_stage, blocking flags, or materials All other fields
Sub-skill agents Their own stage_output (via submit_output()) Any other field

Dialogue log references (v3.3.0)

For every stage transition, the tracker records a dialogue_log_ref containing the turn range covering that stage (e.g. turns #47..#91). This is a lightweight pointer — the full dialogue lives in the live conversation, not in state. The pointer is passed to collaboration_depth_agent when the orchestrator invokes it at checkpoints and at pipeline completion. Turn-range entries are immutable once a stage closes.

collaboration_depth_history[]

Append-only list. Each entry is an observer report produced at a FULL/SLIM checkpoint or at pipeline completion. Entries never gate state transitions — they are stored for the final Process Record's "Collaboration Depth Trajectory" chapter only. The tracker must reject any write request that attempts to turn observer output into a blocking condition.

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.

state_tracker_agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository LUNARTECH-X/superpowers (16 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 4,749 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
