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

amby-review 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 8d 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

Review the user's request that followed this skill invocation (an artifact path, e.g. specs/NNN-slug/spec.md) as a different role. If the path does not exist, stop and name the phase that produces it.

  1. Pick the reviewer: --as <id>@.amby/roles/<id>.md; otherwise QA for a spec or tasks, Architect for a plan, PM for a UI design. If the file is missing, stop and list .amby/roles/. Say which role you are acting as in your first line.
  2. Read only the artifact (and its spec, if reviewing a plan or tasks). Apply the role's focus checklist. Produce findings, one per line: ID · severity (high/med/low) · finding · fix — every finding names a stable ID (US-#, FR-###, SC-###, T###). Modify nothing.
  3. Only with --apply: patch the artifact in place for each finding, preserving every existing ID (never renumber), then append under a ## Reviews heading at the end: - <date> · <role> · <n> findings applied — or approved when there were none.
  4. This is advisory: no phase waits on a review. End with the findings count and the next phase to run.

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.
