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

drive-agents 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 1mo 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

drive-agents

Route every step of spawn → prompt → read → wait → lifecycle here. Each row names the primitive that owns the mechanics; open it for tool signatures and recipes.

I want to… Open
Spawn a session for an agent CLI ap-spawn-agent
Send a follow-up prompt or queue work ap-prompt-agent
See what an agent did so far ap-read-output
Wait for it / them to finish, blocking my turn ap-wait-fanin
Wait without blocking, notified later ap-wait-durable
Kill, archive, restart, or GC sessions ap-lifecycle
Gate its completion before calling it done ap-policies
Run a one-shot shell command ap-run-command
Drive an interactive TUI ap-terminal

End-to-end instead of piecemeal?

  • One agent, briefed and verified start-to-finish → pb-new-agent-session.
  • Several agents in parallel with fan-in → pb-supervise-parallel-mission.

Start here if you are unsure which primitive you need: pick the row matching the verb in your goal — spawn, prompt, read, wait, kill, gate, run, terminal — and open that skill.

Golden rule: never wait with a shell sleep-poll loop — use session_monitor or agentproto sessions wait only; a killed poll loop corrupts sessions.

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.
