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

journal-stats 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 11d 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.

Journal Statistics

You are helping the user view statistics about their journal.

Process

  1. Use the MCP tool: Call journal_stats (no parameters needed):

    journal_stats()
    
  2. Present insights: The tool returns:

    • Total number of entries
    • Date range (first to last entry)
    • Number of projects tracked
    • Entries per project breakdown
  3. Add interpretation:

    • Highlight most active projects
    • Show how long they've been journaling
    • Suggest actions based on stats

Presentation Format

**📊 Journal Statistics**

**Overview:**
- **Total Entries:** 247 entries
- **Journaling Since:** January 15, 2024 (6 months)
- **Last Entry:** July 20, 2024
- **Projects Tracked:** 5 projects

**Entries by Project:**
1. my-app: 89 entries (36%)
2. api-service: 62 entries (25%)
3. website: 51 entries (21%)
4. mobile-app: 31 entries (13%)
5. internal-tools: 14 entries (6%)

**Insights:**
- Most active on my-app - main focus recently
- Consistent journaling over 6 months
- Good project organization across 5 repos

Additional Actions to Suggest

Based on stats, suggest:

If many entries:

  • "Want to search for something specific? Try /journal-search"
  • "Interested in recent work? Try /journal-recent"

If few entries:

  • "Keep journaling! It gets more valuable over time"
  • "Consider using auto-capture to save more context"

If uneven distribution:

  • "my-app has lots of entries - want to see them? /journal-search project:my-app"

If stale (last entry old):

  • "Haven't journaled recently - anything to capture? /journal-add"

Use Cases

Project planning:

User: "How much have I worked on each project?"
→ journal_stats()
→ Show breakdown by project

Progress tracking:

User: "How long have I been using the journal?"
→ journal_stats()
→ Highlight date range and growth

General overview:

User: "Give me an overview of my journal"
→ journal_stats()
→ Full statistics with insights

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.
