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

cad-decision-review 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 9d 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

This is a manual, on-demand entry point only - it never auto-fires and there is no review-trigger wiring for it. Durability (cad-context's ## Durable decisions filter) names candidates worth this deeper pass; picking one and invoking this skill is the user's call, not a mechanical handoff.

<execution_context> @${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/cadence-core/workflows/decision-review.md </execution_context>

  1. Run the workflow end-to-end: refute (the review subsystem's reviewer resolution), then adjudicate (Context7 + codebase grounding, per-objection ruling and amendments), then the qualitative cost report.

  2. Present the per-objection rulings, groundings, and amendments - or, on a clean pass, the grounded load-bearing claims, never a bare "no findings"

    • plus which reviewers ran, and the tier/effort that reached the cross-model arm (the cad-reviewer arm resolves neither: no routing cell gives it a model, and its effort is frontmatter-frozen). Do NOT auto-apply any amendment - this is a review, not an edit; the user decides what to change and does it themselves.

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.
