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 B, and why

session-start scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

Session Initialization Protocol

1. Synthesize Context

From Memory Bank, understand:

  • Project: What is this and what's its purpose?
  • Last Session: What was being worked on?
  • Current Focus: From activeContext.md
  • Pending Items: From progress.md

2. State Summary

Report to user:

📚 Memory Bank Loaded

Project: [Name from projectContext]
Last Session: [Date and summary from sessionHistory]
Last Working On: [From activeContext]
Pending Tasks: [Count from progress]
Current Branch: [Git branch]
Uncommitted Changes: [Yes/No]

Ready to continue where you left off.

3. Update Active Context

Mark session start:

  • Record start timestamp
  • Note current branch
  • Update session state

4. Suggest Next Actions

Based on context:

  • Continue last session's work?
  • Address pending items?
  • Review open issues?
  • Start something new?

Quick Actions

  • Continue last task: Pick up where you left off
  • Check progress: /progress
  • Review decisions: Look at decisionLog.md
  • Start fresh: "What would you like to work on?"

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.
