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

board 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 11d 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.

/hub:board — Message Board

Interface for the AgentHub message board. Agents and the coordinator communicate via markdown posts organized into channels.

Usage

/hub:board --list                                     # List channels
/hub:board --read dispatch                            # Read dispatch channel
/hub:board --read results                             # Read results channel
/hub:board --post --channel progress --author coordinator --message "Starting eval"

What It Does

List Channels

python {skill_path}/scripts/board_manager.py --list

Output:

Board Channels:

  dispatch        2 posts
  progress        4 posts
  results         3 posts

Read Channel

python {skill_path}/scripts/board_manager.py --read {channel}

Displays all posts in chronological order with frontmatter metadata.

Post Message

python {skill_path}/scripts/board_manager.py \
  --post --channel {channel} --author {author} --message "{text}"

Reply to Thread

python {skill_path}/scripts/board_manager.py \
  --thread {post-id} --message "{text}" --author {author}

Channels

Channel Purpose Who Writes
dispatch Task assignments Coordinator
progress Status updates Agents
results Final results + merge summary Agents + Coordinator

Post Format

All posts use YAML frontmatter:

---
author: agent-1
timestamp: 2026-03-17T14:35:10Z
channel: results
sequence: 1
parent: null
---

Message content here.

Example result post for a content task:

---
author: agent-2
timestamp: 2026-03-17T15:20:33Z
channel: results
sequence: 2
parent: null
---

## Result Summary

- **Key sections**: Hook, Problem, Solution, Social Proof, CTA
- **Confidence**: High — follows proven AIDA framework

Board Rules

  • Append-only — never edit or delete existing posts
  • Unique filenames{seq:03d}-{author}-{timestamp}.md
  • Frontmatter required — every post has author, timestamp, channel

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.
