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

status 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.

Usage

/northstar:status

Workflow

Step 1: Check for Project and Load State

  1. Check if north-star-advisor/.work-in-progress/state.json exists
  2. If not exists:
    No North Star project found.
    Run /northstar:advisor to start a new project.
    
  3. If exists: a. Read state.json b. Legacy state check: If state.json contains completed_phases (pre-2.0.0 format):
    1. Display project name and creation date from state
    2. Display: "⚠ State format: v1.x (pre-2.0.0). Run /northstar:resume to migrate."
    3. Stop. Do NOT continue. Do NOT write to state.json. c. Get plugin_index_path from state.json d. Read templates/index.yml at that path e. Read north-star-advisor/.work-in-progress/inputs.yml

If plugin_index_path is missing from state.json:

  • Glob: **/northstar/**/templates/index.yml
  • If exactly 1 match: update state.json with found path
  • If 0 matches: display "Could not locate templates/index.yml from cached state or fallback glob." and stop
  • If multiple matches:
    • List all found paths
    • Use AskUserQuestion with each path as an option
    • Stop and wait for the user's selection
    • Store selected path in state.json as plugin_index_path
    • Then continue

Step 2: Calculate Statistics

  1. Use template list from index.yml for expected documents
  2. Check state.ux and state.deep for enabled flags
  3. Calculate completion from completed_templates array

Step 3: Display Status

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.
