Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 260 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan A 0 findings. A grade says what 26 rules found in the file — not that it is safe.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00260
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00104
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00052
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00026

Security

Grade A, and why

session-help 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 2mo 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

Show help for the session management system:

Session Management Commands

The session system helps document development work for future reference.

Available Commands:

/project:session-start [name] - Start a new session with optional name
/project:session-update [notes] - Add notes to current session
/project:session-end - End session with comprehensive summary
/project:session-list - List all session files
/project:session-current - Show current session status
/project:session-help - Show this help

How It Works:

Sessions are markdown files in .claude/sessions/
Files use YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-name.md format
Only one session can be active at a time
Sessions track progress, issues, solutions, and learnings

Best Practices:

Start a session when beginning significant work
Update regularly with important changes or findings
End with thorough summary for future reference
Review past sessions before starting similar work

Example Workflow:

/project:session-start refactor-auth
/project:session-update Added Google OAuth restriction
/project:session-update Fixed Next.js 15 params Promise issue  
/project:session-end

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.
