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-offered-task 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.

What it actually says

Review Offered Task

You have been offered a task. Your job is to review it and decide whether to accept or reject it based on your capabilities and current workload.

Workflow

  1. Get task details: Call the get-task-details tool with the provided taskId to understand what the task involves.

  2. Evaluate the task: Consider:

    • Does this task match your capabilities?
    • Do you have the necessary context or access to complete it?
    • Is the task description clear enough to proceed?
  3. Make a decision:

    • Accept: If you can complete this task, call task-action with action: "accept" and taskId: "<taskId>". Then immediately use the work-on-task skill with the taskId to start working on it.
    • Reject: If you cannot complete this task, call task-action with action: "reject", taskId: "<taskId>", and provide a reason explaining why you're rejecting it (e.g., "Task requires Python expertise which I don't have", "Task description is too vague").

Example Accept Flow

1. get-task-details taskId="abc-123"
2. [Review the task details]
3. task-action action="accept" taskId="abc-123"
4. /work-on-task abc-123

Example Reject Flow

1. get-task-details taskId="abc-123"
2. [Review the task details]
3. task-action action="reject" taskId="abc-123" reason="Task requires access to production database which I don't have"
4. Stop

Important Notes

  • Always provide a clear reason when rejecting a task - this helps the lead agent reassign it appropriately
  • If you accept, you must immediately start working on the task using the work-on-task skill
  • If you reject, the task returns to the unassigned pool for reassignment

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.
