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

engagement-setup 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 today.

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 — 44 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Engagement Setup

Turn the agreed engagement into a shared problem definition, access to evidence, working ownership, and useful early progress. Preserve the contract, approved scope, existing work, and client's operating requirements. Do not replay sales qualification after award or impose enterprise governance on a small advisory task.

Use the brief, contract, known team, timeline, and available data. Draft supported portions while recording missing information. Ask only when a missing answer changes the scope or makes the plan unusable. Mark unknown stakeholder positions and proposed commitments rather than filling them with plausible names, dates, or attitudes.

Prepare the launch

Identify the outcome, decision-maker, scope boundaries, deliverables, success evidence, dependencies, and near-term decisions. Compare expectations with the agreement and make discrepancies visible. Separate contractual commitments from planning assumptions.

Map affected groups and decision roles. Use a power-interest matrix when it helps: high power/high interest = manage closely; high power/low interest = keep satisfied; low power/high interest = keep informed and hear their input; low power/low interest = monitor proportionately. Influence and interest do not establish support or opposition. Record stance from evidence and revisit it when information changes.

Design the kickoff around unresolved alignment and decisions. Move routine information into a proportionate pre-read if time permits. Select a duration and participants to fit the brief; a kickoff can be a short working session rather than a workshop. Identify the authority or representation required for decisions without treating absence as automatic evidence of disengagement.

For a charter, use project charter template. Adapt fields to the engagement; do not require every field to be finalized live or describe a charter as replacing the contract.

Design discovery

Tie each question to the decision it will inform. Choose data review, interviews, observation, working sessions, or a survey according to the evidence needed. Use discovery methods for requests, interviews, and synthesis.

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.
