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

decision-memo 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 10d 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

Decision Memo

Workflow

  1. Clarify the decision to be made, decision owner, deadline, and audience.
  2. Separate facts, assumptions, constraints, preferences, and unknowns.
  3. Define 2-4 viable options, including a default or no-change option when relevant.
  4. Compare options using business impact, speed, cost, risk, reversibility, and operating complexity.
  5. Recommend one option with explicit rationale, risks, and next steps.

Output Standard

Use this structure by default:

  • Decision Required: the exact choice to make.
  • Recommendation: one clear recommendation and why.
  • Context: relevant background and current state.
  • Options Considered: options, benefits, costs, and risks.
  • Tradeoff Analysis: compact comparison of the decision criteria.
  • Risks And Mitigations: material risks and how to reduce them.
  • Implementation Notes: owners, first steps, dependencies, and success measures.
  • Open Questions: unresolved facts that could change the recommendation.

Rules

  • Do not hide uncertainty. Label assumptions and missing information.
  • Do not create a false consensus when stakeholder positions conflict.
  • Prefer reversible, low-regret recommendations when evidence is thin.
  • Make the decision path auditable enough for later review.

References

Read references/memo-patterns.md when the user asks for a one-page memo, executive committee memo, or weighted decision matrix.

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.
