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

chronology 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 11d 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

Invoke the chronology-builder-agent sub-agent to extract and build a chronological timeline.

Documents or context:

$ARGUMENTS

The agent will:

  1. Parse all specified documents for dated events (explicit and implied dates)
  2. Extract: agreements signed, notices served, deadlines triggered, breaches alleged, payments made
  3. Order events chronologically with source citations (document + page + clause)
  4. Flag ambiguous dates or sequence conflicts
  5. Identify limitation period implications (Limitation Act 1963)
  6. Generate chronology-[YYYYMMDD-HHMM].docx with timeline table + .html

HITL Gate fires before delivering the timeline — respond with APPROVED or REVISE: [add/remove events].

Usage: /chronology all documents in vdr/ or /chronology SHA_v1.txt labour_notice.pdf

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.
