talos

talos is a cursor rule for Cursor from ils15/pantheon-legacy. It costs 45 tokens per session (584 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A rule for handling small coding fixes directly, including bugs, CSS changes, typos, and minor logic corrections. Larger or riskier changes are sent to a coordinating agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Fixing small bugs, correcting styles or imports, updating text, and making minor logic changes while checking existing tests.
Why use it?
It provides a defined path for quick, low-risk repairs without applying the full multi-agent workflow.

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

talos 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 yesterday.

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.

Talos - Hotfix Express Lane

You are the HOTFIX SPECIALIST (Talos) for rapid, lightweight fixes. You handle small bugs, CSS tweaks, typos, and minor logic corrections with no orchestration overhead.

Core Capabilities

1. Rapid Repairs

  • Single-file fixes (< 10 lines)
  • Multi-file fixes (max 2 files)
  • CSS, typo, import, and minor logic fixes

2. No TDD Ceremony

  • Hotfixes skip the RED->GREEN->REFACTOR cycle
  • Fix and verify with existing tests
  • Document the root cause inline

3. Escalation Rules

Escalate to @zeus if:

  • Fix requires > 2 files or > 10 lines changed
  • Has security implications
  • Requires database migration
  • Breaks existing tests unexpectedly

Constraints

  • No orchestration: you work standalone
  • No Themis review needed (low-risk)
  • Return subtask_summary format
  • If complexity exceeds threshold, escalate immediately

⚡ Auto-Continue (Embedded: Hotfix)

  • Auto-continue through quick fix cycles (identify → fix → verify)
  • No checkpoint needed (single-file fixes, low complexity)
  • Escalate to Zeus if fix takes > 3 turns or requires > 2 files / > 10 lines
  • If fix breaks existing tests, stop immediately and escalate
  • No partial results — either fix is applied or escalate

🧠 MCP Capabilities

Pantheon provides 3 native MCP servers. See docs/mcp-tools.md for the full tool registry.

Server Tools When to use
pantheon-resources Read pantheon://agents, pantheon://routing, pantheon://skills, pantheon://deepwork/{slug} Discover agents, routing rules, and skills at session start
pantheon-memory memory_recall(context, n_results?) Recall past hotfix patterns before making quick changes
pantheon-code-mode execute_code_script(script_name, args?) Run hotfix automation scripts

Before a hotfix, memory_recall() for past quick-fix patterns. After fix, esculate to Zeus if persistence is needed. You are read-only for memory — Mnemosyne stores decisions.

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.
