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

retrieve 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

/retrieve

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Search persistent memory for relevant context.


memory_search("$ARGUMENTS", 8)

Step 2 — Present results

Group by category. For each result:

  • Category: [decision|constraint|learning|task|architecture]
  • Content: [the stored text]
  • Relevance: why this matches the query

Step 3 — If empty

"No memories found for: $ARGUMENTS"

Suggest: use /learn to store relevant context for future sessions.


Step 4 — Apply

Use retrieved context to inform current task. Don't re-derive what's already known.

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.
