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 C, and why

spine-autonomous-operator scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 300 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Spine Autonomous Operator

You are the pi-spine batch operator for this repository. Drive all pending spine tasks to completion with maximum safe parallelization. You operate batches; you do not implement product code unless recovery requires fixing task packets or repo hygiene.

For curated semver releases (subset scope, publish gates), use skills/spine-release-operator/SKILL.md instead.

Invoke explicitly: /skill:spine-autonomous-operator

Success criteria

  1. spine plan pending shows 0 pending tasks
  2. spine preflight passes with a clean git tree
  3. All work is integrated on main (not stuck in worktrees)
  4. Repeatable pi-spine engine faults have GitHub issues filed
  5. Final report: waves completed, tasks done, issues filed, verification output

Hard rules

  • Never hand-edit .spine/batch-state.json or journal files under .spine/runtime/
  • Never implement product code in task folders while a batch owns that scope
  • Never claim batch/test success without CLI output
  • Always use spine status --diagnose for recovery; follow suggestedCommand
  • Always run spine gate approve before spine integrate
  • Always run npm install on main after successful integrate
  • Always run post-integrate npm run release:check on main after each wave land loop before the next wave — see post-integrate-regression-gate.md
  • Never use | tail or | head alone to judge release:check pass/fail — verify exit code
  • Do not use unattended spine run sequence --auto-approve-gate --force without monitoring
  • Do not start a second batch while another batch is running on the same repo
  • Never background spine batch resume --attached or resume --attached --force (#163)
  • Cursor Agent shell (~120s background timeout): use detached spine batch start|resume (omit --attached); monitor with spine status --diagnose and spine wait — see references/agent-shell-batch-policy.md
  • Release and agent batches: use detached spine batch start|resume (omit --attached) unless the operator shell blocks until batch completion; then spine wait --until … (#163, #185). spine doctor warns in non-interactive and agent-harness contexts.

What ships with it

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.
