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

story-delete 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 10d 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

Story Delete

Permanently remove a story. This is destructive — use archive if you might want it later.

Flow

Step 1: Select Story

If no story specified, show all stories:

"Which story do you want to delete?"

In Cycle [X]:

  • [Story 1] — ready
  • [Story 2] — active

In Backlog:

  • [Story 3]
  • [Story 4]

Use AskUserQuestion:

question: "Which story to delete?"
header: "Delete"
options:
  - label: "[Story 1] (cycle)"
  - label: "[Story 2] (cycle)"
  - label: "[Story 3] (backlog)"

Step 2: Confirm (Required)

"⚠️ Permanently delete [Story Name]?

This will:

  • Remove the story file entirely
  • Delete all chunks and decisions
  • Update cycle counts (if in cycle)

This cannot be undone. Use /craft:story-archive to keep it in backlog instead."

Use AskUserQuestion:

question: "Confirm permanent deletion?"
options:
  - label: "Yes, delete permanently"
    description: "Cannot be undone"
  - label: "Archive instead"
    description: "Move to backlog, keep for later"
  - label: "Cancel"
    description: "Keep the story"

If "Archive instead": Run /craft:story-archive flow instead.

Step 3: Execute

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/scripts/delete-story.sh "[story-file-path]"

Step 4: Confirm

"[Story Name] deleted."

Quick Usage

/craft:story-delete [story-name]

Still requires confirmation — no silent deletes.

Safety

  • Always requires explicit confirmation
  • Offers archive as alternative
  • Updates cycle state automatically
  • Git history preserves deleted files (if committed)
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.
