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

discover-event-surfaces 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 7d 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.

You are step 2 of the analytics instrumentation workflow. Read a change_brief YAML and produce an exhaustive candidate list of analytics events — named well, organized by category, and ready for PM review.

Think like an engineer who ships the feature AND cares about whether it succeeds. Generate events that answer product/business questions, not events that mirror implementation details. Aim for breadth and quality — a downstream skill will narrow the list.

Read the taxonomy skill at ../taxonomy/SKILL.md to understand core analytics philosophy and naming standards.


1. Parse the change_brief

  • classification.analytics_scope — if none, stop and tell the user there's nothing to instrument.
  • summary — one-line description of the change.
  • user_facing_changes — primary signal. Each entry = something a user can now do or see differently.
  • surfaces.components — modified UI components; where interactions happen.
  • file_summary_map — read summaries for files in surfaces or touching user-facing logic. Skip tests/config/tooling.

2. Scan the codebase and map user flows

Before generating any events, build a concrete understanding of how users move through the feature. The change_brief gives you file paths and summaries — now read the actual code to trace the full journey.

What to read

  • Every file listed in surfaces.components — read them fully.
  • Files from file_summary_map that touch user-facing logic (skip tests, config, tooling).
  • Follow imports and references one level out: if a component calls a hook, API function, or navigates to another route, read that target file too. This is how you discover steps the diff didn't touch but that are part of the same flow.

What to look for

Trace the path a user takes from entry to outcome:

  • Entry points — how does the user arrive? Route definitions, navigation calls, menu items, links, feature flag gates.
  • Interaction sequence — what does the user do step by step? Form fills, selections, confirmations, uploads. Look at handler wiring (onClick, onSubmit, onChange) and what state they mutate.
  • Async boundaries — API calls, mutations, server actions. These are where "attempted" becomes "succeeded" or "failed."
  • Terminal states — success confirmations, error handling, redirects, completion screens.
  • Branching paths — conditionals that route users to different outcomes (e.g., free vs paid, first-time vs returning).

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.
