A note-management command that marks a note as archived and moves it into an archive folder. It supports projects, tasks, pages, and people, but leaves certain note types unchanged.

Use it to archive completed projects and tasks, outdated pages, or records about people who have left an organisation, after finding and checking the note.

It removes old notes from active folders while preserving their content and recording their archived status. Its type checks help avoid moving notes that should remain visible or are archived in another way.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.01522
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.00761
Sonnet 5	$0.00000	$0.00304
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00152

Security

Grade A, and why

archive 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 6d 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 — 230 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/archive Skill

Usage

/archive <note-name>
/archive "Project - Old Initiative"
/archive [[Task - Completed thing]]

Task	`+Archive/Tasks/`	Completed 3+ months ago
Page	`+Archive/Pages/`	Outdated, superseded

- If not found, inform user and stop
- If multiple matches, ask user to clarify

- If type is not supported for archiving, inform user:
  
  "This note type ({{type}}) doesn't need archiving. [Explain why based on type]"
- Stop if not supported
Confirm with user
- Show current note location and type
- Ask: "Archive this note? (Y/n)"

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.
