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

review-own-diff 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 2mo 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

Review your own diff

When to use

After building, before calling anything complete — in either lane. This is the cheapest place to catch the problems the vibe lane tends to create.

Steps

  1. Read the actual diff (don't review from memory).
  2. Check against the Definition of Done (docs/process/definition-of-done.md).
  3. Check the golden rules: module boundaries intact? no secrets? repo language? contract exists before the code that needs it? comments explain "why"?
  4. If the change became load-bearing, escalate to the spec lane: write the spec/ADR retroactively (see write-adr).
  5. Fix what you found, then run wrap-session.

Notes

Be honest about findings — report what's still broken rather than smoothing over it. A failing check named out loud is worth more than a green claim.

Changes

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.
