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

ceos-kickoff 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 5d 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 — 321 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ceos-kickoff

Facilitate the EOS implementation kickoff sequence — the three foundational sessions where a leadership team first implements EOS. Focus Day introduces the tools and establishes the foundation. Vision Building Day 1 defines the Vision component (Core Values, Core Focus, 10-Year Target, Marketing Strategy). Vision Building Day 2 completes the V/TO (3-Year Picture, 1-Year Plan, Rocks, Issues List). These are one-time sessions, distinct from the recurring L10 or quarterly/annual planning cycles.

When to Use

  • "Focus Day" or "run our Focus Day"
  • "Vision Building Day" or "VB Day 1" or "VB Day 2"
  • "Start EOS" or "implement EOS" or "kick off EOS"
  • "First EOS session" or "EOS implementation"
  • "We're starting EOS — what's first?"
  • Any reference to the initial EOS implementation sequence

Context

Finding the CEOS Repository

Search upward from the current directory for the .ceos marker file. This file marks the root of the CEOS repository.

If .ceos is not found, stop and tell the user: "Not in a CEOS repository. Clone your CEOS repo and run setup.sh first."

Sync before use: Once you find the CEOS root, run git -C <ceos_root> pull --ff-only --quiet 2>/dev/null to get the latest data from teammates. If it fails (conflict or offline), continue silently with local data.

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.
