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

daily-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 today.

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 — 571 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Conduct an end-of-day review to capture progress, track what you actually accomplished vs. planned, surface meeting follow-ups, and set up tomorrow.

Execution mode

Run inline in the current conversation by default. Do not fork merely because this skill was selected. Only run in the background when the user explicitly asks for a background review or the host has already obtained a specific background-work approval for this review.

Before authoring anything, check for existing day state: today's archived plan, today's completion metrics, and any review or closeout already written for today. If existing day state is present, enter verifier mode. Read it, compare it with the current tasks and meeting evidence, and surface omissions or proposed corrections. Do not create a competing review or overwrite the existing author. Any proposed write still follows the confirmation and write-guard rules below.

Delegated gathering (large-vault scaling)

This skill stays inline as described above: it keeps session awareness, it asks the user the questions, and it owns every interactive step. What it does NOT do inline is the bulk read-gathering, which on a mature vault (hundreds of notes, thousands of indexed messages, a live calendar and multiple integrations) can be large enough to exhaust the main conversation before the useful work starts.

So the gathering phase is delegated to one general-purpose subagent via the Agent tool, using the self-contained prompt in this skill's AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md:

  1. Read .agents/skills/daily-review/AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md.
  2. Substitute its placeholders ({{TARGET_DATE}}, {{TOMORROW_DATE}}, {{TOMORROW_DATE_PLUS_1}}, {{DAY_NAME}}, {{MONTH}}, {{DD}}, {{YYYY}}).
  3. Call the Agent tool with subagent_type: "general-purpose", model: "sonnet", that prompt, and a short description. The brief is mechanical gathering, so it runs on the fast tier; the judgement calls stay in this conversation on the default model.
  4. Verify it wrote the draft to 07-Archives/Reviews/Daily_Review_YYYY-MM-DD.md, then run the interactive steps from its findings and complete the placeholder sections.

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.
