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

insight-critique 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/critique

Advisory review of the last plan, code, architecture, or UI output. Runs four analysis passes and emits a structured report. Never blocks — advisory only.

Structured execution spec: protocol.yon. Read it for the canonical rules and step sequence; this file is explanation. The two must stay in sync — if you edit one, update the other and refresh the @STAMP date.

Caller Options. Before executing, run the Caller Options protocol (caller-options/SKILL.md): triage this invocation for material optionality across the venues and modes declared in front-matter; if one path clearly dominates, proceed silently; otherwise surface the options to the caller. A resolved-invocation marker means COP already ran — execute the fixed combination directly, do not re-enter COP.

Phase 1 — Classify

Identify what is being critiqued. Pick exactly one: Code, Plan, Architecture, UI. If the subject is ambiguous, ask for clarification before proceeding.

Phase 2 — Analysis

Run all four passes. Passes 1–3 are independent. Pass 4 depends on Risks.

  1. Summary — what is this? State purpose, scope, and approach concisely.
  2. Strengths — what is well-designed, sound, or admirable? Be specific. Do not pad.
  3. Risks — what is fragile, dangerous, underspecified, or likely to fail? Rank by severity: High / Medium / Low.
  4. Fixes — for each risk, propose a concrete actionable change. Distinguish must-fix from nice-to-fix.

Phase 3 — Render Report

Output a structured report with four labeled sections: Summary, Strengths, Risks, Fixes. Then set a verdict:

  • Approved — all risks are Low or cosmetic
  • ⚠️ Conditional — risks present but fixable; apply fixes then proceed to /plan-execute
  • 🚫 Not Approved — High risks present; /plan-create or a redesign is required

Constraints

  • Advisory only. Never block or halt the user's work unless a kernel-prime violation is detected.
  • Never mark Approved when any risk is rated Medium or above.
  • Do not pad Strengths to soften the critique. If there are few strengths, say so.

Changes

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.
