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

career-agent-workbench AGENTS.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 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.

Agent Guidance

Use a Python-first architecture and public-safe synthetic evidence in this repository.

  • Never add real profile or application state, generated career artifacts, credentials, employer-internal material, or machine-specific paths.
  • Keep private workspace state in the root-anchored ignored directories and preserve the root .env protections.
  • Keep edits scoped, add focused tests, and align the version, changelog, and release note for committed changes.
  • Do not use destructive Git operations or discard work without explicit authority.
  • Preserve human-review checkpoints and require explicit authority before actions that publish, contact third parties, or change external state.

Local operator contract

  • Run make install from the repository root to create the ignored public .venv, install .[dev,browser], and install Playwright Chromium. Do not use the legacy repository environment for public operation.
  • The ignored root .env is bootstrap-only. It selects the external workspace and its private dotenv; tokens and machine-specific settings belong only in that external mode-0600 file.
  • Use make start-website, make stop-website, and make restart-website for PID-owned local lifecycle. Browser opening is opt-in through OPEN_BROWSER=1; never stop processes by port scanning.
  • make skill-link manages exactly the five public repository skills. It must not replace unrelated personal skills or overwrite a non-symlink.
  • The canonical MCP executable is the absolute public .venv/bin/career-agent-workbench-mcp; retain a clearly named legacy registration until the final cutover gate.

Validation and release

  • Focused changes require their tests, Ruff check/format, git diff --check, and public-tree safety. Release readiness additionally requires the complete suite, wheel/sdist build and scan, isolated wheel smoke, offline Chromium, browser workbench, and injected MCP stdio checks.
  • Release PRs stay unmerged and untagged until their final gate and explicit user approval. Preserve normal reviewed commits; do not squash or rebase them.

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.
