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

knowledge-transfer 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 9d 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

/cowork-os:knowledge-transfer

Run a structured, objective-first interview and build the company brain from one person's knowledge. Interview in the user's language. Use context/tone_of_voice.md if present.

Who / what to capture: $ARGUMENTS. If empty, ask who you are interviewing and which process or area before starting.

Run these phases (one question at a time, never a volley):

  1. Setup: role, process/area, time available.
  2. Objective: what must a new hire do alone in 2 weeks? Which 3 cases are most frequent, which 3 most costly if mishandled?
  3. Process map: for each key process, step by step from request to closing; systems used and in what order; where they wait on someone.
  4. Laddering (the value): exceptions ("when do you NOT do it this way?"), decision criteria, typical new-hire mistakes, unwritten rules, what to never promise.
  5. Verify: mirror back 5-8 rules ("do X, except when Y, right?") and let them correct.

Then write into the workspace:

  • context/processes/<process>.md (readable step-by-step)
  • context/glossary.md (internal terms)
  • decisions/decisions_log.md (rules as trigger -> action + exceptions + source: interview, <date> + confidence)
  • decisions/open_questions.md (gaps to clarify)

Never invent. Every rule carries a source and a confidence; if unknown, say so. Optionally generate 5-10 test cases to check an agent applies the rules correctly.

End with a Memory Update listing what you wrote and where.

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.
