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

ga4-brief 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.

/ga4-brief - Structured What-Changed Analysis

Four-phase analysis: SCAN → DETECT → INVESTIGATE → REVIEW → DEDUPLICATE → OUTPUT. Includes quality gate to filter noise and a deduplication check against previous briefings.

Usage

/ga4-brief <property> [--days 7]

<property> can be: numeric property ID, project slug, client name, or URL. See Property Resolution below.

Steps

Step 0: Setup

Language check: Read ~/.config/data-arsenal/config.json.

  • If language is set → use that language in its native script for all commentary and recommendations. Bulgarian = Cyrillic (кирилица), NOT Latin transliteration. Data labels and GA4 metric names stay in English.
  • If language is NOT set (first run) → output as plain text (NOT AskUserQuestion): "What language should I use? (English / Bulgarian / other)" Wait for user response, interpret it, save to config.json so it's never asked again.

Property resolution: Resolve <property> to a numeric property_id:

  1. If numeric → use as property_id directly
  2. If matches a project slug in ~/.config/data-arsenal/projects/ → read property_id from that project's config.json
  3. If neither → run resolve_property() from _ga4_lib.py to search GA4 account by name
  4. If still not found → ask user to clarify

Auto-load project: Scan ~/.config/data-arsenal/projects/*/config.json for a project where property_id matches. If found:

  • Load config.json (business context)
  • Load context.md (narrative context)
  • Load data-quality.json if exists (audit caveats)
  • Load briefing-log.json if exists (previous findings for dedup)

If no context found, warn that analysis will be generic and suggest /ga4-context first.


Step 1: SCAN — Run reports

a. Run what-changed reports:

Find the script in order:

  • ~/.config/data-arsenal/scripts/ga4-what-changed (post-setup, primary)
  • scripts/ga4-what-changed (CWD is the repo)
  • If neither exists, tell the user to run /ga4-setup first

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.
