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

briefing 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 6d 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 — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Briefing

Daily and on-demand briefing. Read the referenced file ONLY when triggered.

Arguments

Argument Effect Default
(none) Full briefing — all 4 streams + Phase 2 board.md sync
--quick Focus box + Stream A only; skips trackers, companion data, channels, Phase 2 false
--skip-trackers All streams except Stream B (offline-friendly); Phase 2 still runs false
--commits YYYY-MM-DD Detailed commit analysis for one day (sessions, time est., types) — see references/commit-analysis.md
--html After terminal output, delegate to /bridge-dashboard to render the operational HTML dashboard false

Mode × Phase matrix

Phase default --quick --skip-trackers
Phase 0 (smart detection + day block)
Stream A (local state)
Stream B (trackers fan-out)
Stream C (companion: calendar, imports)
Stream D (channels)
Phase 2 (board.md sync)
Phase 3 (log entry)
Phase 4 (terminal output)

Prerequisites

  • bridge-config.yaml with work.enabled: true. If not: offer setup.
  • Standing orders are loaded at session start (per CLAUDE.md). If /briefing is invoked standalone (e.g. via cron or a long-running session), manually load protocols/standing-orders/*.md and protocols/standing-orders/user/*.md before Phase 1 — the applications surface logic in Stream C depends on them, and an applications order is user-tier (a *.md glob alone does not reach user/).

What ships with it

3 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.
