workspace-brief

A short report on a software workspace’s current status and recent commit history. It separates facts observed in the repository from conclusions drawn from them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Summarizing current work, reviewing recent commits, identifying immediate risks, and choosing the next concrete development step.
Why use it?
It gives the team a shared view of active changes, recent direction, risks, and the next action without assuming the workspace is clean.

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

workspace-brief 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 2d 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

Prepare a workspace brief

Use brief_workspace_status and brief_recent_commits before writing the brief. Summarize active changes, recent direction, immediate risks, and the next concrete action. Distinguish observed repository evidence from inference and do not claim the workspace is clean without checking.

Changes

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.
