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

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 5d 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.

Review

Follow the governing instructions and the user's requirements for communication, code style, authorization, and delegation. This skill supplies task-specific guidance, not permission to expand the task. Its workflow and output fields describe internal checks and relevant content, not a mandatory response layout or a progress report. When used within broader authorized work, continue that work through completion rather than stopping to deliver this skill's intermediate result.

Find actionable defects that could change the decision to accept the work.

Fix the comparison

Identify the exact base and changed state. Read the originating requirement or specification and the repository rules that govern the touched area. Inspect the diff before expanding into surrounding code.

Review independently

Check requirement compliance, behavioral correctness, state and error handling, compatibility, security boundaries, concurrency, tests, and maintainability. Trace beyond the diff only where a changed contract or shared state creates risk.

Check for avoidable complexity introduced by the change, including a new dependency for a small operation, an interface with one implementation, a factory with one product, a pass-through wrapper, unused flexibility or configuration, and a hand-written substitute for the standard library or a native platform capability. Report it only when removing it preserves the required behavior and materially reduces ownership or change cost. Do not prefer fewer characters or files over correctness, readability, or a coherent boundary.

At code level, inspect input validation, side-effect-free assertions, initialization before use, variable scope and lifetime, numeric conversion and overflow, loop bounds and termination, resource ownership, hidden side effects, and whether tests can fail for the intended defect. Apply only the checks relevant to the language and changed path.

When delivery or security changes, include lockfiles, build scripts, generated artifacts, provenance and signing fields, deployment policies, bypass paths, break-glass controls, authorization matrices, fail semantics, rollback floors, and shared causes of failure among supposed backups.

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.
