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

02-backlog 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 3d 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.

Actions

Run the flow above. Read only the next action file.

Action Does
inspect resolve the scope, event, and authority
triage classify intake and detect existing work
review find actionable backlog health improvements
route delegate proposed artifact changes
assess challenge refinement from three viewpoints
decide reconcile proposals and confirm authority
apply delegate authorized writes
verify prove the resulting graph is coherent

Transversal rules

  • Keep product, lifecycle, and backlog decisions with the user.
  • Delegate artifact work to its owning capability, resolved by purpose and verified as installed before delegating.
  • Store each relation once, in its owning artifact.
  • Ask natural questions; never expose internal routes, checks, or unchanged state.
  • Change only authorized artifacts and fields.

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.
