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

bug-analyze 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.

Bug Analyze Command

Investigate and analyze the root cause of a reported bug.

Usage

/bug-analyze [bug-name]

Phase Overview

Your Role: Investigate the bug and identify the root cause

This is Phase 2 of the bug fix workflow. Your goal is to understand why the bug is happening and plan the fix approach.

Instructions

Manual Analysis Process:

  1. Prerequisites

    • Ensure report.md exists and is complete
    • Load the bug report for context
    • Load steering documents:
      # Windows:
      claude-code-spec-workflow get-content "C:\path\to\project\.claude\steering\tech.md"
      claude-code-spec-workflow get-content "C:\path\to\project\.claude\steering\structure.md"
      
      # macOS/Linux:
      claude-code-spec-workflow get-content "/path/to/project/.claude/steering/tech.md"
      claude-code-spec-workflow get-content "/path/to/project/.claude/steering/structure.md"
      
    • Understand the reported issue completely
  2. Investigation Process

    1. Code Investigation

      • Search codebase for relevant functionality
      • Identify files, functions, and components involved
      • Map data flow and identify potential failure points
      • Look for similar issues or patterns
    2. Root Cause Analysis

      • Determine the underlying cause of the bug
      • Identify contributing factors
      • Understand why existing tests didn't catch this
      • Assess impact and risks
    3. Solution Planning

      • Design fix strategy
      • Consider alternative approaches
      • Plan testing approach
      • Identify potential risks
  3. Create Analysis Document

    • Template to Follow: Use the bug analysis template from the pre-loaded context above (do not reload)
    • Read and follow: Use the bug analysis template and follow all sections precisely
    • Document investigation findings following the template structure

Template Usage

  • Follow exact structure: Use .claude/templates/bug-analysis-template.md precisely
  • Include all sections: Don't omit any required template sections
  • Detailed analysis: Follow the template's format for comprehensive investigation

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.
