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

task-add 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

Create a task from the following input.

  1. Parse the task — extract the action item from the user's text. Keep it concise but complete.

  2. Route to the best location:

    • Use qmd vsearch (or obsidian search) to find if an existing project matches the task's context
    • If obvious project match: append the task to that project file (e.g., domains/[Name]/01_PROJECTS/PROJECT_*.md or work/01_PROJECTS/PROJECT_*.md)
    • If domain match but no project: append to domains/[Name]/01_PROJECTS/AD_HOC_TASKS.md (create it if it doesn't exist, using standard frontmatter)
    • If cross-domain or no match: append to work/01_PROJECTS/AD_HOC_TASKS.md
  3. Format the task as a checkbox line:

    - [ ] Task description
    

    If the user mentioned a deadline, include it: - [ ] Task description (due YYYY-MM-DD)

  4. Update dashboards/TASKS.md — add the task to the appropriate section so it's immediately visible without needing /task-sync.

  5. Report briefly:

    • Task text
    • Where it was added
    • "View all tasks: [[TASKS]]"

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.
