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

briefing 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 2d 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

Build a daily briefing using tools exposed by the connected client. Do not call tools that are unavailable to this account.

If the user provided a date argument, use it. Otherwise default to today. If the user provided a timezone argument, use it. Otherwise try to infer from context or omit.

  1. Call pear_list_events for the chosen day
  2. If legacy reminder access is relevant and the tool is available, call pear_list_reminders for incomplete legacy reminders. Explain that Pear cannot read Apple's upgraded Reminders store. If Apple returns migration placeholders or no legacy data, do not imply the user has no current tasks
  3. If Mail is likely relevant, call pear_list_emails on INBOX with unreadOnly: true and a small limit

Present the briefing in a clear, scannable format:

  1. Date and day of week as a header
  2. Events listed chronologically with times, titles, locations, and attendee names
  3. Legacy reminders listed by priority, showing due dates where set; state the compatibility limitation when current Apple reminders are unavailable
  4. Unread Mail only if you checked it and found relevant messages
  5. A brief natural-language summary at the end (e.g., "You have 3 meetings, 5 pending tasks, and 2 unread emails today")

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.

orchestrate

Do this task as an orchestrator. The aim is the same result at a fraction of the cost: in a long session, every token in this conversation is re-read on each later request, while a subagent's reading is discarded when it returns. The plugin's subagents run on Haiku 5.5, about 40× cheaper per token than Opus 5.5.
