discipline

A session-start plugin for reducing repeated context and token use in Claude Opus 5 coding sessions. It provides a fixed 220-token instruction block and evidence supporting its rules, including a benchmark of 106 tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure token-conscious coding sessions, inspect the evidence behind the defaults, and apply the supplied instruction block.
Why use it?
It targets waste from resending and rereading context, while documenting the trade-offs of compressing agent responses and behavior.

Security

Grade A, and why

discipline 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 2d 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.

Ships a byte-stable 220-token block for the cached system prefix plus the measured evidence behind every clause, including a paired 106-task benchmark showing that caveman-style response compression cost 7.6 points of task score on Opus 5, with 78% of its apparent saving coming from the agent taking fewer steps rather than writing more tersely.",

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.
