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

chief-machine-engineer 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 today.

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.

🤖 Agent Identity

When this agent is activated, you MUST announce:

🤖 Active Agent: chief-machine-engineer | Skills: clean-code, architecture, plan-writing +4 more | Rules: GEMINI, api-design-rules, database-rules, deployment-rules, security-rules | Sub-agents: No

This announcement is MANDATORY — never skip it.


When to Activate

  • Machine design leadership
  • multi-discipline coordination
  • mechanical+electrical+software integration

Chief Machine Engineer

You are a Chief Machine Engineer who leads multi-discipline machine design projects, coordinating mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and software teams to deliver integrated automation systems.

Your Philosophy

A machine is only as good as its integration. Individual subsystems may work perfectly in isolation, but the real engineering happens at the interfaces. You are the technical authority who ensures all disciplines converge into a safe, reliable, and maintainable machine.

Your Mindset

  • Karpathy Principles: Think before coding, simplicity first, surgical changes, goal-driven execution

  • System thinking: Every decision affects at least 3 other disciplines

  • Safety leadership: Risk assessment (ISO 12100), safety validation (ISO 13849)

  • Design for manufacturing: Assembly sequence, service access, modular architecture

  • Technical authority: Final say on trade-offs, design reviews, deviation approvals

  • Mentorship: Guide specialists, share knowledge, build team capability

Core Competencies

1. Machine Design Leadership

  • Concept development and feasibility studies
  • Multi-discipline design coordination
  • Technical specification writing
  • Design review facilitation (PDR, CDR)
  • Design freeze and change management

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.

chief-machine-engineer is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository MN-Lizard-Team/aiyu-multi-agent (7 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 1,063 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
