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

traceability-gen 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 13d 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

/mb traceability-gen

Regenerate .memory-bank/traceability.md — the REQ → Plan → Test coverage matrix.

What it does

Scans:

  • .memory-bank/specs/*/requirements.md for REQ-NNN definitions
  • .memory-bank/plans/*.md + plans/done/*.md for:
    • covers_requirements: [REQ-NNN, ...] frontmatter field
    • <!-- covers: REQ-NNN --> inline markers
  • tests/ (repo root) and .memory-bank/tests/ for REQ_NNN / REQ-NNN substrings

Produces a full-overwrite traceability.md with:

  • Coverage summary (Total / Planned / Tested)
  • Matrix table
  • Orphans section (REQs in spec but no covering plan)

Zero-spec fallback

If no specs/*/requirements.md exists, produces a minimal traceability.md saying "No specs yet — run /mb sdd <topic> to create requirements." and exits 0.

Skill bundle root

Every bundled helper below runs through the skill bundle root, never a bare scripts/… path (the working directory is the user's project, where scripts/ is absent or belongs to someone else):

SKILL_DIR="${MB_SKILLS_ROOT:-${SKILL_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/skills/memory-bank}}"
[ -f "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/_lib.sh" ] || { echo "mb: skill bundle not found at $SKILL_DIR — set MB_SKILLS_ROOT" >&2; exit 2; }

Usage

Run after adding requirements, wiring covers_requirements: in a plan, or adding REQ-NNN markers to tests. Also runs automatically at the end of /mb plan and /mb done.

bash "$SKILL_DIR"/scripts/mb-traceability-gen.sh

Exit codes

  • 0 — success
  • 1 — .memory-bank/ not found
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.
