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 B, and why

template-changelog scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill: Template Changelog

Command: /template-changelog Model: 🟡 Sonnet Agent: None (direct execution)

Purpose

Compare this vault with the ArchitectKB template repository and generate changelog entries for features that could be contributed back.

When to Use

  • Before syncing changes to the template repo
  • During quarterly vault reviews
  • After implementing significant new features
  • To track what's diverged between vaults

Template Repository

Location: ~/Documents/GitHub/ArchitectKB/ GitHub: https://github.com/DavidROliverBA/ArchitectKB

Implementation

Step 1: Compare File Inventories

Compare these directories between vaults:

Directory Content Type
.claude/scripts/ Python/Shell scripts
.claude/skills/ Skill definitions
.claude/schemas/ JSON schemas
.claude/hooks/ Pre/post hooks
.claude/rules/ Reference documentation
Templates/ Note templates

Step 2: Categorise Differences

For each file, determine:

  1. New - Exists in this vault but not in template
  2. Modified - Exists in both but content differs
  3. Removed - Exists in template but not here (rare, usually intentional)

Step 3: Filter for Template-Worthy Changes

A change is template-worthy if:

  • ✅ Generic (no BA-specific references)
  • ✅ Reusable across organisations
  • ✅ Well-documented
  • ✅ Tested and working

Exclude:

  • ❌ BA-specific integrations (Notion sync with BA databases)
  • ❌ Personal workflow preferences
  • ❌ Experimental/incomplete features
  • ❌ Files containing credentials or internal URLs

Step 4: Generate Changelog Entries

Use Keep a Changelog format:

## [Unreleased]

### Added
- New `/archive-attachments` skill for orphaned attachment cleanup
- `archive-orphan-attachments.py` script with manifest tracking
- New `location.schema.json` for Location entity type

### Changed
- Updated `frontmatter-validator.py` to support seven-pillar ontology
- Enhanced `tag-taxonomy.md` with workstream hierarchy

### Fixed
- Fixed hardcoded paths in scheduled task scripts

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.
