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

compile 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 1mo 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

/compile

Capture valuable knowledge from the current session into the vault before it evaporates into chat history. The most important wiki command — it's what makes the wiki compound across sessions.

$ARGUMENTS is an optional topic focus.

Steps

  1. Review the conversation for:

    • Architectural decisions (with rationale and tradeoffs)
    • Patterns discovered
    • Gotchas encountered
    • Problems solved (fix + root cause)
    • Tools evaluated (chosen, rejected, why)
    • Configurations that worked
    • Non-obvious empirical facts (latencies, limits, version quirks)
  2. Filter noise. Skip trivial fixes and anything already in git history. Bar: would future-me want to find this in 3 months?

  3. If $ARGUMENTS is provided, scope extraction to that topic.

  4. For each piece of knowledge: check wiki/index.md for existing pages. Update existing (preferred) or create new. If contradicted, add > ⚠️ Contradiction: callout.

  5. Cross-link with [[wikilinks]].

  6. Update wiki/index.md.

  7. Append to log.md:

    ## [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM] compile | <Topic or "Session knowledge">
    <Brief description.>
    Pages touched: [[page-1]], [[page-2]]
    
  8. Git commit: compile: <topic or 'session knowledge'>.

  9. Print a summary of what was captured.

Rules

  • Be honest about what's new vs. already-known.
  • Don't inflate — if a session produced nothing wiki-worthy, say so and skip the commit.
  • Capture the why, not just the what.
  • Capture surprises — the most valuable entries are things that contradicted assumptions.

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.
