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

recap 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 5d 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

🗺️ Think Recap

ID: think-it-through/recap
HACP: 0.4
Kind: operation
Mode: transform
Traits: read-only, semantic
Default Binding: Full available conversation
Accepts: hacp/content, hacp/result
Produces: think-it-through/conversation-map
Duration: once

Effect: Reconstruct Conversation → Topics → Axes with concise reusable human labels, classify their contents and states, then synthesize relationships across them.

Limits: Preserve uncertainty and disagreement. Do not suggest another command, choose, decide, plan, create technical identifiers, persist state, or create a file.

Format

Begin the combo trace with > 🎯 **<binding>** → 🗺️ **RECAP**, followed by Map and Digest. Show the Conversation → Topics → Axes tree and the state of each axis. Give every topic and axis a concise label the user can repeat with on-topic or on-axis.

Add an output with and presentation cards with +. Do not append suggested commands.

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.
