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

ask-product 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 1mo 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

Ask as product

When the user starts work (not a short follow-up like "what does that mean"):

  1. Set OBSIDIAN_VAULT to the vault root.
  2. Run python3 ~/.agents/skills/krouter-obsidian/scripts/ask_product.py ask --query "<user text>" (or the copy inside this clone’s skill/krouter-obsidian/scripts/).
  3. If trigger.ask is set: ask prompt, stop, wait for adopt / reject / defer. At most one. Do not start the task.
  4. After they answer, run ask_product.py record --file <Name.md> --decision adopt|reject|defer. record does not write active.
  5. If adopt: do the work. When it succeeds, run ask_product.py promote --file <Name.md>. Only promote sets status: active. On failure, mid-task reject, or a non-adopt decision: do not promote.
  6. trigger-miss / trigger-ambiguous / already-asked: do not ask; continue.

Triggers live on the provisional page (triggers: a; b) or 90 系统文件/自动化/ask-triggers.json. This clone does not ship someone else’s trigger table.

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.
