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

audit-readiness 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.

Audit Readiness

Assess audit readiness for "$ARGUMENTS" by evaluating evidence completeness, control operating effectiveness, and team preparedness for formal audit engagement.

Prerequisites

Read .metapowers/compliance/$ARGUMENTS/00-scope.md. If this file does not exist, tell the user:

Phase 0 (Scope) has not been completed for "$ARGUMENTS". Run /compliance:regulatory-landscape $ARGUMENTS first, or use --skip-checks to bypass.

If --skip-checks is present in $ARGUMENTS, skip this check.

Process

  1. Read context files:

    • Read plugins/compliance/shared/grc-lifecycle-guide.md for GRC methodology reference
    • Read .metapowers/compliance/$ARGUMENTS/00-scope.md for scope and control framework context
    • Read .metapowers/compliance/$ARGUMENTS/02-remediate.md for control mapping and evidence plan
  2. Evidence completeness check:

    • For each regulation being certified: verify all required evidence items are collected
    • Check evidence currency — no expired or stale evidence items
    • Verify evidence format meets auditor expectations
    • Identify evidence gaps — missing, incomplete, or insufficient items
    • Calculate evidence completeness percentage per regulation
  3. Control operating effectiveness:

    • Verify controls have been operating for the required period (typically 3-6 months for SOC 2 Type II, varies by standard)
    • Check for control failures or exceptions during the observation period
    • Verify compensating controls are documented for any known gaps
    • Assess control monitoring — are anomalies being detected and addressed?
  4. Mock audit simulation:

    • Simulate auditor questions for each control domain
    • Verify document requests can be fulfilled within expected timeframes
    • Identify areas where explanations would be weak or evidence thin
    • Test team knowledge — who answers questions about which controls?
  5. Readiness scoring:

    • Score each regulation on a readiness scale: Not Ready / Partially Ready / Audit Ready
    • Identify remaining gaps or weak areas per regulation
    • Create pre-audit remediation punch list with owners and deadlines

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.
