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

approve 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

Command: approve <id>

Promote a task from Discussion -> To-Do, cascading active children. Requires explicit user authorization for the specific row or batch (see "Authorization gates" in SKILL.md) — approve is a Gate-1 transition, never run it on the orchestrator's initiative.

  1. Sync preflight.
  2. Resolve <id>. Verify status is Discussion (or Suggestion — fast-track allowed). Refuse otherwise.
  3. Cascade: collect every descendant with status in {Suggestion, Discussion}. For each, set Status -> To-Do.
  4. Set the parent's Status -> To-Do. If --priority provided, set on the parent only.
  5. Append a ### <date> — approved entry to the parent's Discussion log.
  6. Print: -> To-Do: [<title>](<url>) (cascaded N subtasks).
Changes

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.

It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 200 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
