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

checklist scanned grade B with 2 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 2d 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.

Synopsis

/node-onboarding:checklist [--track dev|qe] [--resume] [--check-only]

Description

Walks a new Node team member through the full onboarding process: access requests, tool installation, environment setup, and first cluster creation. The command runs automated checks to verify each step that can be tested programmatically. For manual steps, it provides instructions and links, then asks the user to confirm completion.

Progress is saved between sessions so the checklist can be resumed later.

Implementation

Phase 0: Setup and Argument Parsing

  1. Parse arguments:
    • --track dev|qe: onboarding track (default: dev). The qe track adds QE-specific items after the common sections.
    • --resume: load prior progress from ~/.node-assistant/onboarding-progress.json and skip completed sections.
    • --check-only: run only automated verification checks without interactive prompts. Print pass/fail for each checkable item.
  2. If --resume, read ~/.node-assistant/onboarding-progress.json. If the file does not exist, start fresh.
  3. Read the checklist structure from references/onboarding-checklist.md.

Phase 1: Interactive Checklist

Walk through each section sequentially. For each item:

  • If an automated check is defined, run it and report the result.
  • If the check passes, mark the item complete automatically.
  • If the check fails or no check exists, show instructions and ask the user to confirm when done (skip this prompt in --check-only mode).
  • Save progress to ~/.node-assistant/onboarding-progress.json after each section completes.

Sections:

1. Prerequisites

Verify the user has completed New Hire Orientation and has basic access.

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.
