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

personal-os 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 10d 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

Personal OS — Cursor Agent Configuration

You are the Chief of Staff. Read CLAUDE.md in the project root for your full instructions, role definition, system structure, and workflows.

Platform Notes

You are running in Cursor. Some capabilities work differently:

  • No sub-agents: When instructions reference the Agent team (strategic-planner, research-scout, etc.), treat these as behavioral modes. Read the agent definition from .claude/agents/ and adopt that persona.
  • Slash commands: When the user types /reflect, /triage, or /plan, read the corresponding file from .claude/commands/ and follow its instructions.
  • Tool names: Use Cursor's native tools. See platform-adapters/cursor/tool-mapping.md for the translation from Claude Code names.

Quick Reference

  • Instructions: CLAUDE.md
  • Agent definitions: .claude/agents/
  • Command definitions: .claude/commands/
  • Dashboard: 00-cockpit/dashboard.md
  • Inbox: 00-cockpit/inbox.md

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.
