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

finesse-resume 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.

Finesse Resume

Critical Rules — READ BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE

All identity rules are defined in the planner-identity skill and injected by identity_hook.py. Those are non-negotiable and not repeated here. All workflow rules (task classification, UAT checkpoints, multi-workflow, context budget, discovery depth) are defined in finesse.md and apply equally to resumed sessions. The only resume-specific rules are:

  • The final deliverable is ALWAYS the ralph-loop command using file references — NEVER output the raw prompt inline. After handling the user's acceptance option, STOP.
  • Resumed sessions use the same orchestrator delegation pattern as finesse.md (exploration-orchestrator, scope-analyzer, architecture-designer, plan-constructor, plan-validator agents).

Mandatory Workflow Checklist

Before calling ExitPlanMode, verify these final-phase gates were completed (in addition to all task-type-specific phases from the resume point):

  1. ALL 6 validation agents launched in parallel
  2. All CRITICAL and HIGH validation issues resolved
  3. Pre-flight validation run (execution layer, git tracking, scoped files, verification commands)

If ANY step was skipped, STOP and return to the first skipped step.


Argument Parsing

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

No argument mode

If $ARGUMENTS is empty or blank:

  1. Use Glob to scan finesse-plans/ for *-working.md files.
  2. If none found, say "No working files found in finesse-plans/." and stop.
  3. If exactly one found, load it automatically.
  4. If multiple found, read each file's YAML frontmatter to extract task_type and current_phase. List each working file with its task type and current phase, then use AskUserQuestion to let the user pick one.

With path argument

If $ARGUMENTS contains a path:

  1. Load the specified file directly.
  2. If it doesn't exist or can't be read, tell the user "Working file not found at [path]. Please check the path and try again." and stop.

Enter Plan Mode

Enter plan mode immediately after selecting the working file. All work happens in plan mode until the plan is presented.

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.
