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

adjusted-balance 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.

What it actually says

Adjusted Trial Balance

Prepare an adjusted trial balance for "$ARGUMENTS". Incorporate adjusting entries and verify that debits still equal credits.

Prerequisites

Read .metapowers/accounting/$ARGUMENTS/04-trial-balance.md for the unadjusted balances and .metapowers/accounting/$ARGUMENTS/05-adjust.md for the adjusting entries.

Process

  1. Apply adjusting entries:

    • Start with the unadjusted trial balance
    • Post each adjusting entry to the affected accounts
    • Calculate new account balances incorporating all adjustments
  2. Prepare the adjusted trial balance:

    • List every account with its adjusted balance
    • Place debit balances in the debit column and credit balances in the credit column
    • Order accounts by category: assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, expenses
  3. Verify balance:

    • Sum all adjusted debit balances
    • Sum all adjusted credit balances
    • Confirm totals are equal
    • If not, trace the discrepancy back to the adjusting entries
  4. Write the artifact to .metapowers/accounting/$ARGUMENTS/06-adjusted-balance.md with sections:

    • Adjusted Trial Balance — all accounts with unadjusted balance, adjustments, and adjusted balance columns
    • Balance Verification — total debits, total credits, and difference (should be zero)
    • Adjustment Impact — summary showing how each account changed from unadjusted to adjusted

Output

The adjusted trial balance written to .metapowers/accounting/$ARGUMENTS/06-adjusted-balance.md. Present a summary highlighting:

  • Total adjusted debits and credits
  • Whether the adjusted trial balance is in balance
  • Accounts most affected by adjustments

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.
