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

change-request 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 1mo 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 — 242 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Change Request Workflow

Structured change management following ITIL 4 Change Enablement. Produces a complete RFC (Request for Change) document that serves as both the change plan and the CAB review submission.

  • itil — change types (Standard/Normal/Emergency), CAB process, risk assessment matrix
  • done-ops — verification gate before finalizing the change

Output

File: {OUTPUT_DIR}/change-request-{YYYY-MM-DD}-{slug}.md

  • slug: lowercase kebab-case summary, e.g. exchange-upgrade, ad-entra-migration
  • Change ID (CHG-{YYYYMMDD}-{NNN}): {NNN} is a daily sequence number starting at 001. If the organization uses a ticketing system, use that system's ID instead.

Default output directory: ./changes/. If a docs/changes/ directory exists in the project, use that instead. Ask the user if neither exists. A user-specified path takes precedence over all defaults.

All change request documents are written in English. Before writing to file, preview the content for the user in their preferred language.


Workflow

Step 1: Gather Change Details

Collect the following from the user (use AskUserQuestion for missing items):

Field Required Example
What is being changed? Yes "Upgrade Exchange Server 2019 to 2022"
Why is this change needed? Yes "End of support, security compliance"
Which systems/services affected? Yes "Email service, Active Directory"
Expected downtime? Yes "4-hour maintenance window"
Proposed schedule? Yes "Saturday 02:00-06:00"
Who will implement? Yes "IT Infrastructure team"

Step 2: Classify the Change

Determine the change type using the itil skill:

Question Standard Normal Emergency
Is this a routine, pre-approved procedure? Yes → Standard No No
Is there a documented SOP for this? Yes → Standard Maybe No
Is this time-critical (active incident)? No No Yes → Emergency
Otherwise — → Normal —

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.
