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

adjust 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 4d 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 — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Adjust

Record adjusting entries for "$ARGUMENTS". Ensure revenue and expenses are recognized in the correct period by recording accruals, deferrals, depreciation, and estimates.

Arguments. $ARGUMENTS may contain the project name and optional flags. Take the first token as <project> and treat --skip-checks as a flag; never include flags in file paths. All paths below use <project>. If --skip-checks is present, skip the prerequisite check and, before writing any artifact, append one line to .metapowers/accounting/<project>/skip-log.md: - <ISO timestamp> — <skill name> skipped prerequisite check for <artifact file> — reason: <reason or "none given">.

Compute with code. Perform every calculation (totals, balances, ratios, variances, projections) with a script — Bash, Python or a spreadsheet formula written to a file — and include the computation alongside the result. Never do arithmetic mentally.

Prerequisites

Read .metapowers/accounting/<project>/04-trial-balance.md for the unadjusted trial balance.

Process

  1. Identify required adjustments:

    • Accrued revenues — revenue earned but not yet billed or received
    • Accrued expenses — expenses incurred but not yet paid (wages, interest, taxes)
    • Prepaid expenses — payments made in advance that need to be expensed over time
    • Unearned revenue — cash received in advance that needs to be recognized as earned
    • Depreciation — allocate the cost of long-lived assets over their useful lives
    • Allowances & estimates — bad debt allowance, warranty reserves, inventory write-downs
  2. Create adjusting journal entries:

    • For each adjustment, record:
      • Type — accrual, deferral, depreciation, or estimate
      • Accounts — debit and credit accounts
      • Amount — calculated adjustment amount with supporting calculation
      • Rationale — why this adjustment is necessary
    • Number entries sequentially (AJE-001, AJE-002, etc.)

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.
