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

task-status-update-rule 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 7d 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

**STRICT RULES - MUST BE FOLLOWED WITHOUT EXCEPTION:**
There is always exactly one task in either the in_progress or user_review state.
Before updating the status, we guarantee that each condition is met.

needsRefinment → in_progress conditions:
✅ Requirements have been sufficiently clarified and ready for implementation
✅ **Fully understand the code's dependencies and have already reviewed them**
✅ The impact on existing code has been assessed

in_progress → user_review conditions:
✅ I explicitly checked that there were no compile errors
✅ Necessary tests have been added and all pass
✅ Required documentation updates are completed

user_review → in_progress conditions:
✅ From feedback, the content to be modified is completely clear

**user_review → completed conditions**:
✅ Only when explicitly approved by the user, absolutely.

* → needsRefinment conditions:
✅ It becomes apparent that the task requirements are unclear or incomplete

* → cancelled conditions:
✅ There is a clear reason why the task is no longer needed, or alternative methods or solutions to meet the requirements are clear
✅ The impact of cancellation on other related tasks has been evaluated

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.
