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

update-memory-bank 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 7d 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

Overview

Sync memory bank with repository state. Full workflow: .cursor/skill-contracts/update-memory-bank/SKILL.md (user install: ~/.cursor/skill-contracts/update-memory-bank/SKILL.md).

Defaults

None. See skill for workflow defaults.

Steps

  1. Read .cursor/skill-contracts/update-memory-bank/SKILL.md for the full agent contract; if that file is missing, read ~/.cursor/skill-contracts/update-memory-bank/SKILL.md.
  2. Execute the workflow in order; do not skip safety steps.
  3. Report outcomes per skill (summary, tables, or checklist as specified).

Anti-patterns

  • Record only verified state. Trigger: writing memory bank entries. Wrong: inventing commits, files, or statistics. Correct: confirm commit hashes and descriptions against git log before recording them. Reason: fabricated history makes the memory bank untrustworthy.
  • Update only what changed. Trigger: choosing which memory bank files to edit. Wrong: rewriting files whose domain did not change. Correct: update only the files whose domain actually changed. Reason: needless edits create churn and hide real updates.

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.
