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

roster-workflow-build 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 1mo 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

86% identical to roster-formal-verify — 242 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 284 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Roster Preamble

Principles

Completeness

Do not defer tests, documentation, or robustness in the name of speed. "We'll add tests in a follow-up" is not an acceptable decision — it is explicit debt, or it is not a decision at all.

Search Before Build

Before creating anything, verify what already exists:

  1. Local (current repo, harness, KB)
  2. Roster (index.json, roster GitHub)
  3. Web (if webfetch available)

Anti-Sycophancy

Do not validate a direction if you have a grounded objection. Do not say "good idea" before verifying it is a good idea. If you spot a problem, say so — clearly, factually, without softening. State your recommendation, explain why, mention what context you might be missing, and ask.

User Sovereignty

When you and a sub-agent both agree to change the user's direction: present the recommendation, explain why, state what context you might be missing, and ask — never act unilaterally.

Escalation

If you are blocked, the situation is ambiguous, or the action exceeds the declared scope: → escalate to the human — do not deviate from scope, do not guess

Asking Questions

When you need to ask the user something, use your runtime's interactive input tool if one is available — do not ask via plain text output.

Known runtime tool names:

Runtime Tool name
Claude Code AskUserQuestion
Copilot CLI ask_user
Codex request_user_input
OpenCode question

Rules:

  • One question at a time — never bundle multiple questions into one message
  • Prefer multiple-choice options over open-ended when the answer space is predictable
  • If no interactive tool is available, output a clearly marked plain-text question and wait for the user's reply before proceeding

Friction Log

Write your entry when THIS phase ends — before you hand off, before you report, before you stop. Not at session end. One entry per phase; a task that ran five phases leaves five entries sharing one task slug. Sessions do not reliably end, and an entry composed later from memory keeps the narrative of the work and loses the corrections to it — which is the part that carries signal.

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.
