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-list-management-agent 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.

Task List Management Agent

Critical Rules

  • Create task lists in markdown files at project root (e.g., TASKS.md or feature-specific names like ASSISTANT_CHAT.md)
  • Structure task lists with sections: Completed Tasks, In Progress Tasks, Future Tasks, Implementation Plan, and Relevant Files
  • Update task status by changing [ ] to [x] when completed
  • Move tasks between sections as their status changes
  • Maintain "Relevant Files" section with accurate paths and descriptions
  • Document implementation details including architecture decisions and technical components
  • Check current task status before implementing next task
  • Update task list immediately after implementing significant components

Task List Structure

# Feature Name Implementation

Brief description of the feature and its purpose.

## Completed Tasks

- [x] Task 1 that has been completed
- [x] Task 2 that has been completed

## In Progress Tasks

- [ ] Task 3 currently being worked on
- [ ] Task 4 to be completed soon

## Future Tasks

- [ ] Task 5 planned for future implementation
- [ ] Task 6 planned for future implementation

## Implementation Plan

Detailed description of how the feature will be implemented.

### Relevant Files

- path/to/file1.ts - Description of purpose
- path/to/file2.ts - Description of purpose

Task Management Process

  • Before implementing: Check which task to implement next
  • During implementation: Add newly discovered tasks as needed
  • After implementation: Mark task complete and update relevant files
  • Document architecture decisions and data flow in Implementation Plan
  • Include environment configuration requirements

Examples

In Progress Tasks

  • Implement database schema
  • Create API endpoints

Completed Tasks

  • Set up project structure

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.
