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

inbox 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 yesterday.

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 — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the great_cto Inbox command. Show the CTO everything that needs attention right now. Keep the response under 30 lines.

Step 1 — Run helper, write to file (no inline expansion)

HOURS="${1:-24}"
PLUGIN_DIR=${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(ls -d ~/.claude/plugins/cache/*/great_cto/*/ 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1 | sed 's|/$||')}
HELPER="${PLUGIN_DIR}/scripts/cmd-data/inbox-data.sh"
[ -f "$HELPER" ] || HELPER="$(pwd)/scripts/cmd-data/inbox-data.sh"

OUT_DIR=".great_cto/cache"; mkdir -p "$OUT_DIR"
OUT="${OUT_DIR}/inbox-out.txt"
HOURS="$HOURS" bash "$HELPER" > "$OUT" 2>&1
SIZE=$(wc -c < "$OUT" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
LINES=$(wc -l < "$OUT" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
echo "INBOX_READY hours=$HOURS out=$OUT size=${SIZE}B lines=${LINES}"

Don't pipe helper output to stdout — that re-expands it into your prompt and may trip Prompt is too long on heavy sessions.

Step 2 — Read the file

Use the Read tool on the out= path, default first 200 lines. Sections (only present when relevant, separated by blank lines): ## ARCHETYPE_CONFIDENCE, ## OPEN_GATES, ## STALE_GATES, ## P0_OPEN, ## BLOCKED, ## RECENT_ACTIVITY, ## SLO_BURN, ## DORA_CFR, ## GATE_DRIFT, ## COST_ALERT, ## ON_CALL, ## RFC_OVERDUE.

Step 2b — Strict-mode governance (signed exceptions)

Surface the audited gate-bypass trail so nothing expires silently. Active exceptions are sanctioned overrides; expired/revoked ones are debt to remediate.

PD=${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(ls -d ~/.claude/plugins/cache/*/great_cto/*/ 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1 | sed 's|/$||')}; [ -z "$PD" ] && PD=.
node "$PD/scripts/lib/exceptions.mjs" list 2>/dev/null || node scripts/lib/exceptions.mjs list 2>/dev/null || true

Render any (expired/revoked/tampered) exceptions as ⚠️ High ("signed exception EXC-… expired — remediate the work it covered or re-sign"). Active ones expiring within 7 days → 🔔 Medium. If a release is imminent, also run gate-check.mjs gate:ship and show any blocking tasks. See /exception.

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.
