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

engage.init 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 8d 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

/engage.init

Initializes a new engagement project with the selected workflow preset.

Usage

/engage.init <workflow-type> --client <client-name> [--date YYYY-MM-DD]

Workflow Types

  • web-app — Web application pentest (OWASP-focused)
  • network — Internal network pentest
  • red-team — Full red team engagement (all 9 phases)
  • cloud — Cloud security audit (AWS/Azure/GCP)
  • mobile — Mobile application pentest (Android/iOS)
  • ad-domain — Active Directory domain assessment
  • bug-bounty — Bug bounty hunting

Process

  1. Load the selected workflow YAML from workflows/<type>.yml
  2. Create engagement directory: engagement-<client>-<date>/
  3. Create .engage/state.json with engagement metadata
  4. Copy phase templates from templates/<phase>/ based on workflow
  5. Create evidence/ subdirectories (screenshots, pcaps, logs)
  6. Print status and suggest /engage.scope as next step

State File Structure

The .engage/state.json tracks:

  • Engagement metadata (client, date, workflow type)
  • Current phase (0-8)
  • Phase completion status
  • Gate validation results
  • Findings count per phase

Next Steps

After initialization, run /engage.scope to begin Phase 0 (Scope Definition).

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.
