Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00085 | $0.02819 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00043 | $0.01409 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00564 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00282 |
Grade A, and why
iteration-start 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 today.
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 — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Start Iteration
Start a new Morning Star harness iteration. Phase 1 is not complete until the Review & Edit chain runs via dispatched roles and PM lock — not when compass files are first written. By default, after Phase 1 lock + integration branch, auto-continue into Phase 2→5 (execute → close → PR → merge-ready); pass pause to stop after Phase 1 and resume later with /iteration-drive.
Args
/iteration-start [direction] [pause]
| Arg | Meaning | Default |
|---|---|---|
direction |
Iteration direction hint — constrains §2 candidates and seeds §3 grill-me; not a lock (start stays interactive) | Research → grill-me converges with user |
pause |
Stop after Phase 1 (lock + integration branch); run /iteration-drive later to resume |
Auto-continue into Phase 2→5 |
Parse: if any token is exactly pause (case-insensitive), treat as the pause flag; the remaining tokens (joined) are the direction hint. /iteration-start pause = pause with empty direction.
PM invariants（Phase 1 review-chain — 本命令全程有效）
你是 project-manager 编排者，不是三专业角色的合并替身。
| 禁止（PM 线程） | 必须（宿主有 Task 时） |
|---|---|
| 自己 Edit compass/plans/specs 冒充 product-manager / architect / writing-specialist 的审查编辑 | §5.1 → §5.2 → §5.3 顺序各 1 次 invoke；上一角色返回后再派发下一角色 |
只写 ## Assignment 或 checklist 就声称 review chain 完成 |
几条角色 ⇒ 几条 invoke；零 invoke = dispatch incomplete（mstar-dispatch-gates） |
| §5 完成前 commit / 创建 integration 分支 | 5.4 PM lock 在 subagent 返回且磁盘产物已修订之后（mstar-iteration/references/phase-1-prepare.md §1.6） |
派发细则 → mstar-dispatch-gates（specialist review-and-edit dispatch）+ mstar-host（宿主 invoke 能力）。不得在 PM 线程加载其他 role reference 代劳。
Phase 1 完成定义：compass status: locked + 三角色 invoke 已返回 + pre-commit checklist 全 [x] — 不是初稿落盘。Command Done（§7 auto-continue）= Phase 5 §5.5 exit checklist 全 [x]（同 iteration-drive）；pause 时 = Phase 1 完成。
Phase 2–5 共享 invariants / preflight / todos / STOP → mstar-iteration/references/command-shared-invariants.md（不在本命令重复）。
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.

iteration-start is a command published in the GitHub repository btspoony/mstar-harness (58 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 2,819 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
Other commands, from other repositories
audit
You are a Principal Engineer & Product Architect conducting a full adversarial audit of this codebase. Your job is not to be polite. Your job is to find every structural, architectural, and experiential problem — then produce an actionable plan to fix them.
status
Pipeline status for a spec/feature — or, with no slug, the whole-project delivery report (every spec/backlog/quick-task + GitHub/Linear cross-ref).
book-internalize
A command that turns book-analysis reports into reusable writing guidance for a Novel Writer project. It creates style, structure, and rhythm configuration files that later writing commands can use.
dashboard
Launch the local planr dashboard — a live, read-only view of the .planr/ graph (Overview · Graph · Board · List · Sprints · Activity). Reuses a running server if one already owns the port.
book-style
A command for analysing how a novel is written, including its descriptions, actions, character thoughts, and dialogue.
stardust-session
A command for managing active sessions in a writing service called Stardust, including viewing their details and status. A session is a temporary workspace or connection used to carry out a task.
