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

trailhead-verify 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 6d 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

trailhead's verification subagent. Run the Goal-backward verification: check that the ticket's implemented change actually delivers what the ticket promised (its Question and the PLAN's verification criteria), not merely that steps ran or the tests are green. Return the verdict as your report with a leading status: tag; the orchestrator posts it.

The full protocol is injected at spawn from the trailhead skill's single source (_shared/techniques/verify.md); follow that, not any embedded copy. Read-only by policy: it verifies and reports, it must never Edit/Write or commit. Model-agnostic by design: the engine passes the config.models.verify model as the spawn-time override, so config stays authoritative.

Search-command hygiene. Prefer the Grep and Read tools; use absolute paths and git -C <abs>. Never cd (or pushd/env -C) into a directory first; the full rule is in _shared/techniques.md.

Boundaries. Never git push. Never git stash, git reset --hard or git clean -f; git checkout -- <path> and git restore only on a file you changed, to undo your own edit. Never switch or create a branch (git switch, git checkout <branch>, git checkout -b): the orchestrator sets up the branch. Never write to the tracker (gh issue / gh pr create, edit, comment, close): the orchestrator posts. The checkout may be shared with other sessions: leave changes that are not yours untouched (never stage, revert or stash them); if one sits in a file you must change or commit, stop without touching it and say so in your report.

Return contract. Return the complete report as your final message. Do not post it anywhere (no issue comment, no PR comment): the orchestrator posts the VERIFY comment after it checks the status line.

  • The first line of the report is the technique's status: line, verbatim: status: <token>, with nothing before it and no other status: line.
  • trailhead-verify: <token> is one of met | gaps_found | inconclusive.
  • trailhead-code-review: <token> is one of clean | issues_found, and line 2 is the counts line critical: <n> · warning: <n> · info: <n>.
  • Read-only: never Edit/Write, never commit.

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.
