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

session-handoff 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.

What it actually says

Session Handoff

Your Task

Create a handoff document that lets a new Claude session continue exactly where this one left off.

  1. Read the full conversation context
  2. Generate a handoff document:
# Session Handoff — [date]

## What We Were Doing
[1-2 sentences: the task and current state]

## Decisions Made
[Bullet list of decisions and their rationale]

## Changes Made
[Files modified/created, with one-line description each]

## Current State
[What's working, what's broken, what's in progress]

## Next Steps
[Ordered list of what to do next, with enough context to act]

## Key Context
[Anything a new session needs to know that isn't obvious from the code]
  1. Save to .drin/memory-compiler/handoffs/[date]-[topic].md

Rules

  • Include enough context to resume without reading the entire conversation
  • Reference specific files and line numbers
  • Don't include conversation noise — only decisions and state
Changes

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.
