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

matilha-bootstrap 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

When this fires

At the start of any conversation in a workspace where matilha is installed (this skill is visible in your ambient skill list). This is the matilha equivalent of superpowers:using-superpowers — it auto-fires to establish the methodology activation priority before any user prompt arrives.

You will recognize this activation when no explicit matilha command has been invoked but this skill's description matches "starting any conversation". That is the signal to read these instructions and apply them for the rest of the conversation.

Preconditions

  • matilha:matilha-compose is visible in the ambient skill list (indicates matilha is installed for this workspace).
  • No prior matilha-bootstrap invocation in this conversation.

Execution Workflow

This skill is instructive — it does not perform actions. Its content establishes the priority rule for the remainder of the conversation.

  1. Read and internalize the priority rule below.
  2. Do NOT output a confirmation message. Return silently so the user's actual prompt drives the next turn.
  3. When the user's message arrives, apply the priority rule before selecting any other skill.

The priority rule

In any matilha-installed workspace, before you invoke any of the following skills:

  • superpowers:brainstorming
  • superpowers:writing-plans
  • superpowers:frontend-design (or other superpowers craft skills)
  • Any other skill with description matching "creative work", "software construction", "building", "planning", "designing"

You MUST first invoke matilha:matilha-compose via the Skill tool.

Matilha is a methodology wrapper around superpowers. Compose will:

  • Classify the user intent into a matilha phase (discovery, planning, design, dispatch, review, etc.) or recognize it as general creative exploration.
  • Detect installed companion packs (namespace matilha-*-pack) as optional domain enrichment.
  • Dispatch to the right destination — a matilha phase skill (matilha-plan, matilha-scout, matilha-design, etc.) OR superpowers:brainstorming with pack-aware preamble injected.

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.
