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

topic-save 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.

What it actually says

Topic Save

Save topic-specific knowledge from conversations into persistent markdown files at ~/.abtars/workspace/topics/.

How to invoke

Use native file tools (read/write/list directory). No CLI commands.

  1. Sanitize name: spaces→hyphens, remove non-alphanumeric (keep -_), collapse consecutive hyphens, preserve casing. Reject if empty or contains .. or starts with /.
  2. Check existing: list ~/.abtars/workspace/topics/, case-insensitive match on {Name}-*.md. If found, update that file. If multiple, use most recent date.
  3. Create new: write to ~/.abtars/workspace/topics/{Name}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md
  4. Update existing: read file, append/merge new content into relevant sections, write back. Keep original filename/date.

When to use

  • User says "save this topic", "store this as a topic", "add this to the X topic"

When NOT to use

  • Routine messages, greetings, small talk
  • Short facts/preferences (use instant-store)
  • Recall/search requests (use memory-search)

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.
