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

chart-of-accounts 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 12d 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

/chart-of-accounts

Purpose

Ensure the COA fits entity type and reporting needs.

Templates

Entity base COAs

Load from references/coa_templates/ (Malaysia pack defaults):

  • coa_sdn_bhd.json, coa_bhd.json, coa_plt.json, coa_sole_prop.json, coa_partnership.json, coa_koperasi.json

Other jurisdictions: references/jurisdictions/<id>/coa/.

Industry overlays (optional)

Merge from references/coa_templates/industry/ after the entity base:

Pack Use when
trading.json Merchandise wholesale/retail
services.json Professional / agency services
fnb.json Food & beverage
property.json Investment property / rental
construction.json Contracting

Overlay overlay_accounts win on intentional renames; document merges in client README.

Rules

  1. Prefer template codes for consistency across firm clients.
  2. Add sub-accounts only when reporting/analysis needs it.
  3. Never reuse a code for a different nature (asset vs expense).
  4. Map every FS line item to one or more codes (maintain mapping table for statements skill).
  5. Suspense account required (e.g. 2900).
  6. White-label: no firm-specific account names in shared templates.

Completion

Done when: active COA list on disk (entity base ± overlay) with suspense code and FS mapping skeleton.

Output

Active COA list + industry overlay applied (if any) + FS mapping skeleton (code → SOFP/SOCI line).

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.
