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

research-spec-review 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

aigon-research-spec-review

Review the research topic spec itself, not the findings. Edit the spec in place using the shared rubric below, then commit the reviewed spec with a spec-review: commit.

Your job: WRITE a review of this research spec. That means reading it, making targeted edits in place, and creating one spec-review: commit that records your findings. You are the reviewer. Do not check for or process anyone else's reviews — that is a separate downstream task (research-spec-revise) and is not what you are doing here.

If git log shows no prior spec-review: commits on this spec, that is expected — your review will be the first. Do not exit with "no pending reviews"; that would be the check workflow, not this one.

You are already inside the spec-review task for this research topic.

  • Do not run aigon research-spec-review {{args}} again.
  • Do not run aigon research-spec-revise {{args}} — that is a different command for a later stage, run by the research author after reviewers have completed their review. It is not your job here.
  • Do not ask the shell to start the same command recursively.
  • Use the resolved spec path below, edit that spec in place, then make the required spec-review: commit and run aigon research-spec-review-record {{args}}.
  • If you cannot complete the commit or record step, stop and report the blocker instead of making a generic commit.

Resolve the spec

SPEC_PATH=$(find docs/specs/research-topics -maxdepth 2 \( -name "research-{{args}}-*.md" -o -name "research-{{args}}.md" \) | head -1)
test -n "$SPEC_PATH" && echo "$SPEC_PATH"

If SPEC_PATH is empty, stop and report that the research spec could not be resolved.

Read the spec:

cat "$SPEC_PATH"

Review rubric

Spec Review Rubric

Review the spec against this checklist. Prefer small, targeted edits over broad rewrites.

Specificity

  • Replace vague language with concrete behavior, constraints, and outcomes.
  • Name exact commands, files, states, and data shapes where they matter.

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.
