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

bobby-arch 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.

What it actually says

Bobby Arch Skill

Autonomously learns the codebase, writes .bobby/architecture.md (full reference), .bobby/architecture-wakeup.md (compressed ~300-token summary loaded by all agents), and seeds .bobby/decisions.yaml (enforced by bobby-review).

Load and follow the agent instructions in .claude/agents/bobby-arch.md.


Project overrides

If .claude/skills/bobby-arch/SKILL.local.md exists, read it and follow it. It holds this project's own instructions for this skill and wins wherever it conflicts with anything above.

SKILL.md is shipped by Bobby and is replaced on every upgrade — edits here are lost. SKILL.local.md is yours and is never overwritten.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
