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

140-unified-command-interface 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 6d 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 — 541 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

TL;DR: The Unified Command Interface provides a standardized command structure for all Memory Bank operations, ensuring consistent interaction patterns and predictable behavior across different contexts.

1.0.0

```
BIG [category] [command] [parameters] [--options]
```

Where:
- **BIG**: Universal command prefix indicating Memory Bank operation
- **category**: Functional area (memory, workflow, verification, etc.)
- **command**: Specific operation within the category
- **parameters**: Required command inputs in fixed order
- **options**: Optional flags modifying command behavior

Examples:
```
BIG memory read projectbrief.md --section requirements
BIG workflow plan "Database schema design" --complexity 3
BIG verify consistency --focus architecture
```

This structure ensures consistent command patterns across all interactions.
1. **memory**
   - Core memory file operations
   - Example: `BIG memory update activeContext.md`

2. **workflow**
   - Task process management
   - Example: `BIG workflow start act-mode`

3. **verify**
   - Verification and validation
   - Example: `BIG verify consistency`

4. **system**
   - System configuration and management
   - Example: `BIG system status`

5. **bedtime**
   - Bedtime protocol operations
   - Example: `BIG bedtime prepare`

6. **help**
   - Documentation and assistance
   - Example: `BIG help commands`

7. **creative**
   - Creative phase operations
   - Example: `BIG creative evaluate design1.md`

Each category has standardized commands and parameter patterns.
**Memory Operations**
- `BIG memory read [file] [--section] [--format]`
- `BIG memory write [file] [content] [--append]`
- `BIG memory update [file] [--section] [content]`
- `BIG memory search [query] [--files] [--context]`
- `BIG memory list [--type] [--status]`

**Workflow Operations**
- `BIG workflow start [mode] [--complexity]`
- `BIG workflow switch [mode]`
- `BIG workflow status`
- `BIG workflow track [section] [--status]`
- `BIG workflow checkpoint [description]`

**Verification Operations**
- `BIG verify files [--focus]`
- `BIG verify consistency [--scope]`
- `BIG verify references [--file]`
- `BIG verify structure [--files]`
- `BIG verify health [--detail]`

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.
