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

modernize-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 7d 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 — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Report where the modernization of $1 stands, in one screen. This is a read-only command — inspect, never modify.

1 — Artifact inventory

Check analysis/$1/ and modernized/$1*/ and build a table — one row per workflow stage, with the artifact's presence and modification time:

Stage Artifacts
preflight PREFLIGHT.md (note whether the Check 0 human answers and the Check 6 scope-boundary finding are present)
assess ASSESSMENT.md, ARCHITECTURE.mmd
map topology.json, TOPOLOGY.html, *.mmd, extract_topology.*
extract-rules BUSINESS_RULES.md, DATA_OBJECTS.md
brief MODERNIZATION_BRIEF.md (note whether the approval block is signed)
harden SECURITY_FINDINGS.md, security_remediation.patch
uplift DELTA_CATALOG.md, BASELINE.md, PLAYBOOK.md (no playbook = the pilot hasn't happened yet — the fan-out must not); modernized/$1-uplifted/UPLIFT_NOTES.md (note per-unit: builds on target? baseline reproduced?)
transform each modernized/$1/<module>/ dir — note test presence and whether TRANSFORMATION_NOTES.md exists
reimagine modernized/$1-reimagined/ — note per-service acceptance tests and the CLAUDE.md handoff (reimagine's completion markers; it does NOT write TRANSFORMATION_NOTES.md)

2 — Staleness

Flag any artifact older than an upstream artifact it derives from:

  • MODERNIZATION_BRIEF.md older than ASSESSMENT.md, topology.json, or BUSINESS_RULES.md → the brief no longer reflects discovery; recommend re-running /modernize-brief.
  • MODERNIZATION_BRIEF.md for a same-stack uplift plan that is older than DELTA_CATALOG.md — or that has no catalog at all — → the phase order was decided before (or without) the version deltas that determine it; recommend re-running /modernize-brief.
  • TOPOLOGY.html older than topology.json → re-run the injection step from /modernize-map.
  • Any TRANSFORMATION_NOTES.md older than BUSINESS_RULES.md → the module may not implement the latest rule set; list which.

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.
