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

identity-snapshot 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 1mo 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.

Identity Snapshot

Reads existing Dex data and synthesizes System/identity-model.md — a living document the system writes, not the user. This captures who you are as a professional based on your actual behavior, not self-reported traits.

When to Run

  • Manually via /identity-snapshot
  • Auto-triggered during /week-review (append identity model update to review workflow)

Data Sources

Read ALL of the following in parallel before synthesizing:

  1. Quarter Goals — 01-Quarter_Goals/Quarter_Goals.md
    • What you're working toward, pillar distribution, ambition level
  2. Week Priorities — 02-Week_Priorities/Week_Priorities.md
    • Recent 4 weeks of priorities (look for patterns in what gets prioritized)
  3. Tasks — 03-Tasks/Tasks.md
    • Completion patterns, pillar distribution, velocity, what gets blocked
  4. Session Learnings — System/Session_Learnings/*.md (last 30 days)
    • What you've learned, recurring themes
  5. Mistake Patterns — 06-Resources/Learnings/Mistake_Patterns.md
    • Known failure modes, triggers, what to watch for
  6. Skill Ratings — System/Skill_Ratings/ratings.jsonl
    • Which skills score highest, what you value in AI interactions
  7. User Profile — System/user-profile.yaml
    • Existing identity data, communication preferences

Synthesis

Write to System/identity-model.md with this structure:

# Identity Model
*Auto-generated by Dex — last updated YYYY-MM-DD*

## Working Patterns
- Pillar balance: [distribution across pillars]
- Priority cadence: [how often priorities shift, what stays stable]
- Task velocity: [completion rate, average items per week]
- Peak focus areas: [what dominates recent weeks]

## Decision Tendencies
- Under pressure: [what gets prioritized vs deprioritized]
- Goal selection: [ambitious vs tactical, how goals evolve]
- Time allocation: [deep work vs meetings vs quick tasks]

## Quality Preferences
- Highest-rated skills: [from ratings.jsonl]
- What "good" looks like: [patterns from high ratings + notes]
- What frustrates: [patterns from low ratings + mistake patterns]

## Growth Areas
- Recurring gaps: [from mistake patterns, things that keep coming up]
- Skills under development: [from learnings, new capabilities being adopted]
- Blind spots: [pillars or areas consistently neglected]

## Communication Style
- Formality: [from profile + observed patterns]
- Decision speed: [fast/deliberate based on task patterns]
- Feedback preference: [from profile]

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.
