dossier

dossier is a command for Claude Code from ethanaubuchon/dossier-tradecraft. It costs 20 tokens per session (275 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that loads a Dossier vault profile and checks its inbox before the agent handles the rest of a request. Dossier is the context store used by this workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a session that needs Dossier context, either to load the context and wait or to continue with a task using it.
Why use it?
It prevents the agent from starting work without the profile information and session rules it is expected to follow.

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

dossier 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 12d 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

You are starting a session that needs Dossier vault context. The user's task (if any): $ARGUMENTS

This is the /dossier recipe of the dossier-tradecraft framework — a thin enforcement command. Its only job is to ensure the profile-load step runs before any other action.

Workflow

  1. Load context. Invoke the load-context skill. This loads profile.md via mcp__dossier-mcp__get_vault_context and runs the profile's session-start conventions (e.g., inbox nudge if non-empty).

  2. Branch on $ARGUMENTS:

    • Empty: Briefly acknowledge that vault context is loaded. Wait for the user's next instruction.
    • Non-empty: Process the task with profile context now in scope. Honor any session-start conventions surfaced by load-context (e.g., if the inbox nudge fires, mention it inline as you proceed).

Why this exists

Multi-part prompts like "connect to dossier and do X" routinely cause the profile-load step to be skipped — the agent jumps to the task and never calls get_vault_context. This recipe forces the order: load first, act second.

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.
