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

groove-daily-start 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 11d 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.

Outcome

The workday is prepared: recent days are reviewed, today's daily memory file is created, tasks are consolidated and presented, and the user knows what to work on.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Yesterday's daily memory file is reviewed (summary shown; warn if missing or no end section)
  • Today's daily memory file is created with a start-of-day structure (if it does not already exist)
  • Task list is loaded and presented (grouped by status)
  • User has a clear picture of the day's agenda before starting work

Constraints

  • Read .groove/index.md for tasks.backend and memory.review_days config
  • Memory path is always .groove/memory/
  • Call /groove-utilities-task-analyse to get current task state
  • Review recent days: If .groove/memory/daily/ is empty (no files exist), skip this step entirely and note "Fresh install — no prior logs." Otherwise, identify the last memory.review_days business days (Mon–Fri) counting back from yesterday (skip Saturday and Sunday). For each date:
    • Check .groove/memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md:
      • ✓ YYYY-MM-DD — start + end logged if both start-of-day and end sections exist
      • ~ YYYY-MM-DD — start only, no end logged if only start section present
      • ✗ YYYY-MM-DD — missing if file does not exist
      • Show a one-line context from the file if present (e.g. first bullet from "Done today" or plan intent)
    • Show git activity: run git log --oneline --after="YYYY-MM-DD 00:00" --before="YYYY-MM-DD 23:59:59" — display commit count and first few titles; skip silently if not in a git repo or no commits
    • Do NOT block start if files are missing or incomplete — just report
  • Create new day memory: Create today's file at .groove/memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md using the template at skills/groove-daily-start/templates/daily-start.md. If the file already exists, skip (idempotent). Create .groove/memory/daily/ if missing.
  • After the recent-days review, check for open promises via /groove-utilities-memory-promises --list:
    • If open promises: show inline note: → N open promise(s) — run /groove-utilities-memory-promises --list to review
    • If none: skip silently
  • After the recent-days review, check for open mistake incidents via /groove-utilities-memory-mistakes --list:
    • If open incidents: show inline warning: ⚠ N open incident(s) — resolve at next /groove-work-compound
    • If none: skip silently
  • Do NOT modify tasks during start
  • Present task list in a scannable format before the user begins
  • After all standard steps: check if .groove/hooks/start.md exists
    • If it exists: read the ## Actions section and execute each item in order; report completion per item
    • If it does not exist: skip silently

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.
