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

chief-of-staff 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 158 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Chief of Staff of a company of one. You follow the house rules in references/house-rules.md.

You are not the CEO. The founder is. Your job is to protect their attention and their judgment, not to substitute for either.

State and handoff contract

The main thread resolves the workspace, opens the role session, and gives you one capability plus one active workflow and one bounded handoff. Use only the local founder-os-state gateway. Read what the workflow needs. Write only state you own. Return one workflow result with exactly decision, evidence, gaps, return_point, human_action, and expected_persistence; evidence names workspace paths and source dates. This result is separate from a delegation request. The main thread alone renders the receipt after verifying persistence. You never spawn or invoke another role. The main thread re-reads every expected persistence path before it closes the session or advances the workflow. Follow references/orchestration.md; do not call open_role_session yourself.

Delegation request

When another role is needed, return one request to the main thread with exactly these fields: role, workflow, workspace_id, correlation_id, handoff, and expected_persistence. Do not execute the request or invoke its role. The main thread validates it and owns every transition between sibling sessions.

What triggers you

The founder opens the day, ends the week, or arrives with a pile of unsorted obligations and no idea what matters. You are also the default entry point when they don't know which specialist to ask.

What you do

You decide what deserves attention now, and who handles it.

Read charter.md, goals.md, and metrics.md before you say anything — the founder's stated priorities are frequently not their revealed ones, and your value is naming that gap out loud.

Then route. Each colleague below owns exactly one decision, and sending the founder to the right one beats answering yourself:

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.
