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-hunter.skeleton 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 25d 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.

Task Hunter — Autonomous Task Application

Backlog retrieves tasks, analyzes them, applies them, tests them, and commits. Usage: /task-hunter <number>, /task-hunter <keyword>, /task-hunter 3,5,8


Argument Resolution

The user's input is resolved according to the following rules:

Input Type Example Behavior
Single number 5 Retrieve task 5 with backlog task 5 --plain
Comma-separated numbers 3,5,8 Iterate through each one sequentially (3 → 5 → 8)
Keyword login page List all tasks with backlog task list --plain, regardless of title/description
Empty input (none) Select the first suitable task with backlog task list -s "To Do" --plain

Multi-task mode: Each task's Step 1–7 repeat independently, except for errors in one task do not affect others.


Step 1 — Read and Claim Task

backlog task <id> --plain

Read the task details. Extract the following information:

  • Title
  • Description
  • Acceptance criteria (AC)
  • Priority
  • Current status

Immediately claim the task:

backlog task edit <id> -s "In Progress"

RULE: If the task is already in the "Done" state, DO NOT TOUCH. Inform the user and stop. RULE: If the task is in the "In Progress" state, ask the user: continue or start from scratch?


Step 2 — Analysis and Planning

2.1 — Codebase Cleanup

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.
