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

zetetic-team-subagents CLAUDE.md 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 today.

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

zetetic-team-subagents

The plugin that defines the agents, skills, commands, hooks and rules every other repository runs under. Python tooling, Markdown agent definitions.

This file is deliberately short: the host loads what it needs on demand. Everything that used to be here is in docs/agent-guidance.md (repo-specific constraints, etiquette). Read it before any non-trivial change.

Commands

bash tests/run-all.sh                                   # full test suite
ZETETIC_PROFILE=strict bash tools/zetetic-checker.sh --staged
bash tools/doc-count-check.sh
bash tools/doc-command-check.sh

Non-negotiables

  • Any .md under agents/ is parsed as an agent definition. Non-agent documentation goes in rules/, never in agents/.
  • The zetetic spine is generated, not hand-edited: scripts/generate-spine.py injects the <zetetic-spine> block into every anchor-bearing agent. Edit the generator, never the outputs.
  • This clone is live-mounted as the installed plugin: edits take effect immediately in running sessions. Never edit ~/.claude/plugins/cache; change it here.
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.
