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

ai-agent-memory query.instructions.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.

What it actually says

Query Wiki

When the user asks a question about the knowledge base or says "query":

Resolve the memory root

  1. If memory/schema.md exists in the current workspace, use memory/.
  2. Else if schema.md exists, use the current directory.
  3. Else follow the memory-wiki path declared in AGENT.md.
  4. If no folder containing both schema.md and index.md resolves, report the missing path and stop.

All paths below are relative to that memory root.

  1. Read index.md first — scan the content catalog for relevant pages
  2. Read relevant pages in full — don't skip or summarize prematurely
  3. Synthesize an answer with [[wikilink]] citations to source pages
  4. If the answer is valuable, file it as a new page in wiki/_queries/:
    • YAML frontmatter: title, category: queries, tags, question, date_created
    • The synthesized answer as the body
    • ## Sources listing the pages referenced
  5. Update log.md: - **{timestamp}** | QUERY | "{question}" | filed_as: {path}
  6. Update wiki/_queries/_index.md if a new page was filed

Present the answer with citations.

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.
