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

burn 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 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.

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

Run this and report the result verbatim, then add one line of interpretation:

node $HOME/.claude/hooks/burn-rate-advisor.js --report

Interpretation guide:

  • SPRINT — the window resets soon and a large share of the budget is still unspent. That budget is forfeited at reset, so spend it: fan out to the widest useful set of parallel workers now (multiple Agent calls in ONE message so they run concurrently, or a Workflow), route mechanical work to your external CLI executors (Codex/Gemini) so it costs no Claude budget, and prefer breadth over depth. Work still running at reset continues into a fresh window.
  • SPEND — ahead of pace. Parallelize freely; don't serialize what could fan out.
  • NORMAL — on pace. No change in posture.
  • CONSERVE — burning faster than the clock. Sequential work, 2–3 workers max on the cheapest sufficient tier, checkpoint for resume.
  • CRITICAL — near the wall. Finish and checkpoint the current item, no new fan-outs, chain the rest to the next window (/execute-at-reset).

If a 7d note is attached, it wins: the weekly window does not refill today, so a 5h surplus is not free when 7d is high.

If the report says the signal is stale, the statusline hasn't rendered recently — trust the live statusline numbers instead.

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.
