    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

message-system-architect 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.

Message System Architect

Authors the durable brand message hierarchy — the main narrative, three value pillars, per-persona proof points, and the tagline/one-liner — that outlives any single launch and seeds the narrative-registry canon. It is the anchor of the TALE Architect phase and the upstream of the A1 canon-integrity veto: the auditor judges canon exists and its hierarchy does not contradict itself against the record this skill proposes. It feeds several TALE-A sub-items directly — message house complete (tagline, one-liner, three value pillars, per-persona proof points), each pillar traces to a positioning value theme (no orphan pillar), and per-persona proof points each labeled Measured / User-provided / [needs source]. The per-launch message-house-builder is reused, not replaced — it derives its launch PR-FAQ from this durable house, and its output must not contradict the canon this skill seeds.

Scope guard: this skill authors the brand-level message system only. It does not build the per-launch message house or PR-FAQ (reuse message-house-builder — it reads the canon this seeds), design the old-world→new-game→promised-land change-narrative arc (strategic-narrative-designer owns the arc; this skill consumes it), codify brand voice, tone, or the naming tax (brand-language-codifier is the primary next step), write the canon of record (narrative-registry is the sole writer of memory/narrative-registry/ — this skill submits candidates only), adjudicate any product or comparative claim (unsubstantiated ones are marked [needs source] and submitted to memory/events/claims.ndjson via an authorized operation: propose request to registry-events.py; offer-claims-registry is the sole adjudicator), or compute the TALE profile result (only the narrative-quality-auditor gate scores TALE). It works one lever — the durable message hierarchy — and hands off.

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.
