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

executing-plans 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 3d 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

Executing Plans

Implement written plans through structured batches with review checkpoints.

When to Use

  • A plan exists in docs/plans/
  • User says "execute the plan" or "implement the plan"
  • After completing the writing-plans skill
  • When resuming work on a documented plan

Process

Step 1: Load and Review

  1. Read the plan file from docs/plans/
  2. Critically assess it - Does it still make sense?
  3. Raise concerns before proceeding
  4. Confirm understanding with user

Step 2: Execute Batch

Work through tasks in batches (typically 3 at a time):

  1. Mark progress - Note which task you're on
  2. Follow steps precisely - Don't skip verifications
  3. Run all commands - Check they produce expected output
  4. Commit after each logical unit

Step 3: Report Results

After each batch, use the batch report format from assets/execution-template.md.

Step 4: Continue or Adjust

Based on feedback:

  • Continue - Execute next batch
  • Adjust - Modify approach based on feedback
  • Pause - Save progress and stop

Step 5: Complete Development

When all tasks done:

  1. Run final verification (all tests, linting)
  2. Summarize what was built
  3. Offer to commit/PR if not done

Critical Rules

STOP IMMEDIATELY When:

  • Missing dependency - Something needed isn't available
  • Unclear instructions - Plan step is ambiguous
  • Failed verification - A check didn't pass
  • Unexpected state - Reality doesn't match plan

Never force through obstacles or guess at solutions.

Return to Review When:

  • Plan needs updating
  • Fundamental approach needs to change
  • New information changes requirements

Progress Tracking and Output Format

See assets/execution-template.md for the progress tracking block and per-task execution format.

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.
