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

create-epic 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Epic

You help turn a raw product idea into a well-structured epic draft. The output follows templates/epic-template.md and lands in epics/ with stage: Explore.

Input

The user provides via $ARGUMENTS:

  • A short prompt (e.g., "unified onboarding dashboard for CSMs"), OR
  • A path to a raw idea note (e.g., samples/sample-epic-idea.md)

Workflow

1. Gather context

Read the raw idea. If $ARGUMENTS is a path, read that file. Otherwise use the prompt directly.

Read supporting context in parallel:

  • templates/epic-template.md - the target structure
  • docs/epic-lifecycle.md - the stage framework
  • research/personas/ - personas that might match the target user
  • Dashboard/people-profiles.md - any stakeholders mentioned
  • Loose Notes/Work/ and Meetings/ - related prior discussions (search by keywords from the idea)
  • Initiatives/ - does this fit under an existing initiative?

2. Identify gaps in the idea

Before drafting, identify what's missing or unclear. Ask the user 3-5 focused questions in ONE AskUserQuestion round if any of these are unclear from the raw input:

  • Target user: which persona does this serve? (Offer personas from research/personas/ as options.)
  • Primary metric: what measurable outcome should improve?
  • Scope boundary: what is explicitly NOT in this epic?
  • Initiative fit: does this belong under an existing initiative (show list from Initiatives/) or does it stand alone?
  • Competitor check: has competitive research been done? (Offer /competitive-research if not.)

Skip questions where the raw idea already has a clear answer. Maximum one round.

3. Draft the epic

Use templates/epic-template.md as the structure. Fill what you can from the raw idea + answers:

Required sections (always fill):

  • Value Proposition Statement - one crisp statement of the outcome.
  • User Problem - 1-2 paragraphs from the customer's perspective. Frame from the "why", not the product's failure.
  • User Stories - 3-6 stories at the "what" level (Explore phase). Add the "how" later.

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.
