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

yolo-init 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 2d 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

yolo-init

Make a repo YOLO-ready. Idempotent: safe to re-run as a repair. Rules: ../../yolo/conventions.md.

Procedure

  1. Create workspace/features/ if missing, with a .gitkeep.
  2. If workspace/config.yaml is missing, copy ../../yolo/templates/config.yaml there. Set project.name to the repo directory name and project.base_branch with the detection rule (conventions base_branch). If it exists, only fill missing keys; never overwrite a value the user set.
  3. Commit (yolo: init).

Upgrading from older YOLO

Older versions also created workspace/decisions/, workspace/debug/, task trailers and a routing block in the project's agent instructions file. Leave existing files alone; they are history. If the user wants the routing block gone, remove the text between the YOLO:routing-block start and end markers.

Constraints

  • Never git-ignore workspace/. It has to survive branches and worktrees.
  • Writes only project state: workspace/ and its config.
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.
