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

create_general_task 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.

Create General Task - Execute top to bottom

Creates a new general task in .simone/04_GENERAL_TASKS/ following project documentation standards.

Create a TODO with EXACTLY these 10 Items

  1. Parse task arguments and determine task ID
  2. Load project context and documentation requirements
  3. Verify task doesn't duplicate existing work
  4. Research codebase for implementation context
  5. Create task file using standard template
  6. Fill in task details with proper context
  7. Add technical guidance and codebase references
  8. Update project manifest with new task
  9. Validate task alignment with architecture
  10. Perform final quality check and report

DETAILS on every TODO item

1. Parse task arguments and determine task ID

The argument format is: <Task Title or Description>

  • If arguments are empty, prompt user for task details
  • Generate sequential task ID by examining existing tasks in .simone/04_GENERAL_TASKS/
  • Find highest task number (T###) and increment by 1
  • Format: T###_<Task_Title_Snake_Case>.md
  • IMPORTANT: Task IDs must be sequential with no gaps

2. Load project context and documentation requirements

Use PARALLEL SUBAGENTS to READ and UNDERSTAND the project's context:

  • READ .simone/00_PROJECT_MANIFEST.md - Get current project state and direction
  • READ .simone/01_PROJECT_DOCS/ARCHITECTURE.md - Understand system constraints
  • READ latest files in .simone/10_STATE_OF_PROJECT/ - Review current state
  • SCAN .simone/05_ARCHITECTURE_DECISIONS/ for relevant ADRs
  • IMPORTANT: General tasks must align with documented architecture

3. Verify task doesn't duplicate existing work

SEARCH comprehensively for potential duplicates:

  • Check all files in .simone/04_GENERAL_TASKS/
  • Search sprint tasks in .simone/03_SPRINTS/*/T*.md
  • Look for similar functionality in completed milestones
  • CRITICAL: If duplicate found, stop and report to user with file reference

4. Research codebase for implementation context

Based on the task description, use PARALLEL SUBAGENTS to:

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.
