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 B, and why

passdown AGENTS.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — passdown

Source of truth for agents working in this repo. This is a standalone public repo (vunm-io/passdown) — it does not inherit from any parent workspace config, unlike the thin AGENTS.md this project generates for consumers (see templates/AGENTS.thin.md).

What this repo is

Four workspace-agnostic Claude Code / Kiro skills (passdown-intake, passdown-dispatch, passdown-handoff, passdown-pickup) plus an OpenSpec workflow schema (schemas/passdown/) that makes tasks self-contained and dispatchable. See README.md for the full pitch and docs/design-2026-07-04-passdown-workflow.md (in the vunm-workspace meta-repo, not here) for the original design.

Branch policy

  • main is protected and release-ready. Never push directly to main.
  • Use short-lived branches and pull requests:
    • feat/<topic> or fix/<topic> for normal work.
    • codex/<topic> for Codex-authored work.
    • release/vX.Y.Z is the integration and beta-testing window for the next version: it branches off main with a -beta.N version bump, feature/fix PRs target it instead of main, and testers install the plugin pinned to it (/plugin marketplace add <repo-url>.git#release/vX.Y.Z). Finalize by setting the release version, merging to main through a green PR, tagging, and deleting the branch. Time-box it to one release; work that misses the window waits for the next one.
  • No develop and no long-lived version lines such as 0.2.x. While passdown is in v0, fixes move forward into the next release instead of maintaining old minor branches.
  • Require green CI, then squash or rebase into main. Never create merge commits and never force-push main.
  • One commit = one logical change. Conventional Commits, English, imperative mood (fix: ..., feat: ..., ci: ..., docs: ...).
  • AI attribution is allowed and optional. Co-Authored-By: <model>, AI-Assisted-By: <tool> and AI-Reviewed-By: <tool> trailers may stay in commit messages and PR bodies; an AI tool's default commit template needs no stripping. The author of record is still the human who owns the change, so never add a redundant self Co-authored-by for that same person.

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.
