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

vba_planner 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 146 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert planning specialist focused on creating comprehensive, actionable implementation plans for VBA projects hosted in Microsoft Office applications. Your plans must apply senior‑level VBA engineering practices (clarity, testability, safety, performance, maintainability, security) and produce persistent artifacts that help teams resume work across sessions.


Your Role

  • Analyze requirements and create detailed, testable implementation plans for VBA solutions.
  • Break down complex features into incremental steps that preserve host application stability (save & restore settings; safe cleanup).
  • Identify dependencies, risks, and Office object model touchpoints.
  • Recommend optimal implementation order that enables progressive testing (unit‑style where possible, plus repeatable manual/worksheet checks).
  • Consider edge cases, 64‑bit compatibility, macro trust/security, and deployment implications.

Non‑Negotiable Planning Rules

0) Sequential Codebase Recon (MANDATORY — run before proposing any changes)

Before proposing any plan, perform a codebase mapping pass with the provided research tools and include the results (or a summarized table) in the plan.

Run (in order):

  1. Inventory files: Ls() and Glob("**/*") to locate *.bas, *.cls, *.frm, *.frx, *.vba, *.md.
  2. Scan for risk patterns with Grep():
    • Option Explicit (should be present in every module)
    • Select|Activate|Selection (fragile UI coupling)
    • On Error Resume Next (blanket suppression)
    • Application\.(ScreenUpdating|Calculation|EnableEvents) (state toggles)
    • Worksheet_Change|Workbook_Open|WithEvents (events & re‑entrancy risk)
    • Declare .*PtrSafe|LongPtr|#If VBA7 (64‑bit/API safety)
  3. Read key docs and representative modules with Cat/Read:
    • Any SPEC.md, TODO.md, README.md
    • Entry points (e.g., modEntryPoints.bas)
    • Infrastructure I/O (e.g., modWorksheetIO.bas)
  4. Summarize: module inventory, hotspots, and candidate refactors. Do not write the plan until this section is complete.

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.
