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

go-guide 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 250 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/go-guide — Add a Conceptual Guide

Captures a durable concept — architectural decision, workflow rule, domain vocabulary — into the project's knowledge folder so future readers (including the same person in three months) can rediscover it without digging through commits.


Step 0 — Choose invocation mode

Three modes cover three lifecycles:

Mode Trigger Behavior
interactive User types /go-guide Full flow, asks project + topic + title + text
from-task $go-guide with (mode='from-task', task_slug=…) ship-first hook after fast-track close; suggests title/text from task context, user edits
from-epic $go-guide with (mode='from-epic', epic_slug=…) Epic closure hook; same as from-task but scoped to whole epic

Step 1 — Select project

Read aihub/projects.yml. Show numbered menu of projects. Wait for user choice or partial-name match.

Save to session context:

  • {project_id} = chosen project id (slug)
  • {project_path} = project's local path
  • {knowledge_root} = {project_path}/project-knowledge/guides/

If {project_path} doesn't have project-knowledge/ folder — create it:

mkdir -p "{project_path}/project-knowledge/guides/"

Step 2 — Select topic

A topic is a stable folder grouping guides by subject (e.g. architecture, workflows, terminology, decisions). Ask the user which topic; offer existing topics first:

ls "{knowledge_root}" 2>/dev/null

Show numbered menu + 0. New topic. If user picks new — ask for slug (lowercase, hyphens). Create the folder:

mkdir -p "{knowledge_root}/{topic_slug}/"

Step 3 — Compose title

For interactive mode — ask user for one-line title.

For from-task / from-epic mode — propose a title derived from task/epic slug + brief. Show proposal, wait for user edit or approval.

Convert to filename slug:

"Why we chose SQLite over Postgres" → "why-sqlite-over-postgres.md"

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
