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

checkin scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

Check-In Session

v1.4 — Hardened Phase 0.5 triage: enforcement contract, explicit steps, auth fallback

Interactive check-in with Claude as chief of staff. Combines inbox triage, reminder triage, meeting prep, email quick-fire drafting, and priority management. Time-aware — works for morning, afternoon, or evening runs.

This is an interactive skill. A full session takes 10-15 minutes. Try /checkin quick first for a 30-second status view.

Prerequisites

This skill requires several MCP integrations and config files. Missing components degrade gracefully (phases are skipped, not errors).

Required:

  • Gmail MCP — for inbox scanning, email drafting, triage
  • Google Calendar MCP — for today's schedule and meeting prep

Recommended:

  • /triage-inbox skill — for inbox triage phase (without it, triage is skipped)
  • Config files (see First-Time Setup below):
    • ~/.claude-assistant/config/email-policy.md — VIP lists, email routing rules
    • ~/.claude-assistant/config/calendar-policy.md — calendar IDs, working hours
    • ~/.claude-assistant/config/triage-config.md — label IDs, classification rules
    • ~/.claude-assistant/config/goals.yaml — objectives for goal alignment

Optional:

  • Granola MCP — for meeting context from past transcripts
  • Apple Reminders (macOS only) — for reminder triage phase

First-Time Setup

  1. Create config directory:

    mkdir -p ~/.claude-assistant/config
    mkdir -p ~/.claude-assistant/state
    mkdir -p ~/.claude-assistant/logs
    
  2. Install config files (if not already installed via /triage-inbox or /morning-brief):

    curl -o ~/.claude-assistant/config/email-policy.md \
      https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chrisblattman/claudeblattman/main/templates/email-policy-template.md
    curl -o ~/.claude-assistant/config/calendar-policy.md \

    curl -o ~/.claude-assistant/config/triage-config.md \
