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

06-auto-changelog 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Auto-changelog (standard operating procedure)

At the end of every task or significant modification you complete, update CHANGELOG.md when appropriate. This is mandatory workflow — not optional and not subject to user confirmation.

When to run

Perform this evaluation before proposing a final git commit message or concluding the task (including when the user did not ask for a commit).

Decision gate

Ask: Is this change relevant to the end-user, the system architecture, or another developer using this tool?

Answer Action
YES Update CHANGELOG.md under ## [Unreleased] (see below).
NO Do not modify CHANGELOG.md.

YES — document these

  • New features, CLI/MCP/UI surfaces, env vars, or operator-visible behavior (also update .env.example per .cursor/rules/07-env-example.mdc)
  • Bug fixes that affect runtime, data safety, or integrations
  • Performance or reliability improvements users or operators would notice
  • Security hardening (SSRF, auth, sandbox, secret handling, rate limits)
  • Breaking or behavioral changes to public APIs, config, or graph semantics
  • Architecture shifts that change how others extend or deploy the daemon (new modules, bootstrap paths, OpenSpec contracts)

NO — skip the changelog

  • Typos, formatting, comments-only edits
  • Internal refactors with no observable behavior change
  • Test-only changes (unless they document a newly fixed user-visible bug)
  • Lockfile-only updates (uv.lock) unless paired with a dependency change worth calling out
  • Release chores already captured by .cursor/rules/05-release-preparation.mdc (version bump, section rename) — do not duplicate bullets

How to update (do this silently)

  1. Open CHANGELOG.md.
  2. Under ## [Unreleased], place one concise bullet in the correct subsection:
    • ### Added — new capabilities
    • ### Changed — behavior or API changes
    • ### Fixed — bug fixes
    • ### Removed — deprecations or removals
    • ### Security — security-only changes (create this heading under [Unreleased] if missing)
  3. Create the subsection if it does not exist yet under [Unreleased].
  4. Match existing style: bold lead — short explanation; optional `path` or env var; link OpenSpec/docs when relevant.
  5. Do not duplicate an existing bullet; merge into one bullet if the same area was touched again in the same task.
  6. Do not ask permission to edit the changelog — just do it.

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.
