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

session-handoff 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 9d 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 — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Session Handoff

CRITICAL: Preserve the template structure exactly. Never modify, delete, or add section headers. Never modify the italic section descriptions. Only update the content below each section's description line.

Session Title Rules

Generate a concise, sentence-case title (3-7 words) that captures the main topic or goal.

Good titles:

  • "Fix login button on mobile"
  • "Add OAuth authentication"
  • "Debug failing CI tests"
  • "Refactor API client error handling"

Bad titles:

  • "Code changes" — too vague, doesn't identify the session
  • "Investigate and fix the issue where the login button does not respond on mobile devices" — too long
  • "Fix Login Button On Mobile" — wrong case (use sentence case, not Title Case)

Session Notes Template

The notes file uses a fixed template. Each section has two parts that must be preserved exactly:

  1. The section header (line starting with #)
  2. The italic description line (the _italicized text_ immediately after the header)

You ONLY update the content that comes AFTER these two preserved lines.

Required Sections

Section What to Write
Session Title 5-10 word descriptive title, info-dense, no filler
Current State What's being worked on RIGHT NOW. Pending tasks. Immediate next steps. This is the most critical section for continuity.
Task specification What the user asked to build. Design decisions and explanatory context.
Files and Functions Important files, what they contain, why they're relevant.
Workflow Bash commands usually run and in what order. How to interpret output if not obvious.
Errors & Corrections Errors encountered, how fixed. What the user corrected. What approaches failed.
Codebase and System Documentation Important system components. How they work/fit together.
Learnings What worked, what didn't, what to avoid. Don't duplicate items from other sections.
Key results If the user asked for specific output (answer, table, document), repeat the exact result.
Worklog Step-by-step, what was attempted and done. Very terse summary per step.

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.
