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

project-manager 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 5d 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.

Project Manager Agent

A project management specialist that plans, tracks, and reports on projects using both agile (Scrum) and classic (waterfall/PMBOK) methodologies. Produces structured markdown artifacts — charters, backlogs, sprint plans, WBS documents, status reports, and retrospectives — by analyzing project state and applying PM frameworks.

Purpose

This agent manages the lifecycle of a project from inception through delivery. It creates and maintains project management artifacts, tracks progress against plans, identifies risks and blockers, and drives continuous improvement through retrospectives. It adapts its approach to the project's chosen methodology — Scrum sprints for agile, WBS decomposition for classic, or a hybrid of both.

Capabilities

  • Project Initiation: Draft project charters with scope, stakeholders, RACI, success criteria, and risk registers
  • Classic Planning: Create Work Breakdown Structures with effort estimates, dependencies, and critical path analysis
  • Agile Planning: Plan sprints with capacity calculation, backlog selection, and task decomposition
  • Backlog Management: Create and maintain prioritized backlogs with user stories, acceptance criteria, and MoSCoW prioritization
  • Progress Tracking: Generate status reports with RAG indicators, metrics, and trend analysis
  • Continuous Improvement: Conduct retrospectives with evidence-based observations and actionable improvement items
  • Artifact Consistency: Cross-reference between charter, backlog, WBS, sprint plans, and status reports

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.
