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

project-worth-my-time 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 12d 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.

Project Worth My Time

Relationship to other project skills

This skill is a follow-up to explain-new-project. When resuming work after time away, also see project-catch-up for stack updates and new tools/skills.

It assumes you already understand what the project is.

  1. If PROJECT_GUIDE.md exists at the project root, read it first (do not re-explore from scratch unless it is stale or missing quick-start sections).
  2. If it does not exist, either run the same exploration as explain-new-project or tell the user: Run the explain-new-project skill first for a faster, clearer verdict.

Same audience and language rules as explain-new-project: self-taught, plain language, Learn: lines for jargon, language matches the user's chat.

When invoked

  1. Confirm project root.
  2. (Optional) Personal context — if a memory MCP (e.g. Pieces) is available, enrich the verdict with the user's recent work (see below). The verdict never depends on it.
  3. Read project evidence: PROJECT_GUIDE.md, README, manifest, rough maturity signals (last commit, TODOs, half-built features).
  4. Alternatives scan — if the project is a common product type (habit app, landing page, automation, CRM, etc.), search the web for mature tools the user could use instead of building from scratch.
  5. Write the verdict using the template below.
  6. Always save PROJECT_VERDICT.md at the project root (overwrite if present).
  7. In chat: show Quick verdict + What I'd do in full; one line points to the file for reasoning and alternatives.

Optional: personal context (memory MCP)

If you have a personal-memory MCP server (e.g. Pieces, exposed as user-pieces or pieces), you can enrich the verdict with the user's recent work and preferences. This is entirely optional — the verdict stands on project files, git history, and chat alone. If the server is missing or a call fails, say so plainly and move on. Never invent memory.

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.
