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

memory-bank-paths 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

CORE MEMORY BANK FILE LOCATIONS

CRITICAL: All core Memory Bank files reside within the memory-bank/ directory at the project root. Do NOT create or modify these files outside this directory unless explicitly instructed for archiving purposes.

  • Tasks File: memory-bank/tasks.md - This file is used for active, in-progress task tracking, detailing steps, checklists, and component lists. Its content, particularly the detailed checklists, is merged into the main archive document for the task upon completion. After archival, tasks.md is cleared to be ready for the next task. It is an ephemeral working document during a task's lifecycle, with its persistent record captured in the task's archive file.
  • Active Context File: memory-bank/activeContext.md
  • Progress File: memory-bank/progress.md
  • Project Brief File: memory-bank/projectbrief.md
  • Product Context File: memory-bank/productContext.md
  • System Patterns File: memory-bank/systemPatterns.md
  • Tech Context File: memory-bank/techContext.md
  • Style Guide File: memory-bank/style-guide.md
  • Creative Phase Docs: memory-bank/creative/creative-[feature_name].md
  • Reflection Docs: memory-bank/reflection/reflection-[task_id].md
  • Archive Directory: memory-bank/archive/archive-[task_id].md

Verification Mandate: Before any create_file or edit_file operation on these core files, verify the path starts with memory-bank/. If attempting to create a new core file (e.g., tasks.md at the start of a project), ensure it is created at memory-bank/tasks.md.

Changes

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.
