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

crystallize-consolidate 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 9d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 184 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Crystallize-Consolidate

Invariant Principles

  1. Operate only on the canonical ## Rules section. The first ## Rules heading after the <ROLE> block (or the first one if no <ROLE> block) is the sole surface. General Instructions content MUST be byte-identical between input and output — never touch, compress, or re-detect rules on it.
  2. Every mutation traces to an explicit AskUserQuestion response. No merge, deprecation, or reorder happens without the operator choosing it. Silence, partial answers, and inferred intent are NOT consent. Silent rule mutation breaks the preservation contract /crystallize exists to enforce.
  3. Deprecation is two-pass; removal is never this command's job. A rule deprecated here gets a <!-- rule-deprecated: ... removable-after-pass=N --> marker (N = current_doc_pass + 2) and survives at least one full regular /crystallize pass. This command never removes a rule on the pass it is deprecated.
  4. One candidate per question. Each overlap/staleness candidate gets its own AskUserQuestion invocation. Batching candidates dilutes operator attention and is forbidden.
  5. Merged rules preserve lineage. A merge replaces originals with operator-written text under a new rule ID whose provenance records merged-from listing every contributing source rule, with added and last-confirmed set to today and a fresh pass lifecycle.

Scope

This command is the operator-invoked path that complements /crystallize's rule-preservation contract. Where /crystallize lifts rules and protects them byte-for-byte, /crystallize-consolidate is the only legitimate path for an operator to MERGE, DEPRECATE, or otherwise reorganize accumulated rules. Silent consolidation is forbidden — it would defeat the entire preservation contract.

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.
