What is instinct-status?

A command that lists learned instincts and shows how confident the system is in each one, grouped by area.

Use it to review all instincts, inspect one area such as code style, or find low-confidence entries.

It makes remembered coding preferences easier to inspect and helps reveal which ones are uncertain.

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	$0.00012	$0.00516
Opus 5	$0.00006	$0.00258
Sonnet 5	$0.00002	$0.00103
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00052

Security

Grade A, and why

instinct-status 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 10d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to instinct-status — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
