    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

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

capture 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 4d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GTD Capture

Fast append to inbox. No priority, no routing — just capture.

Steps

  1. Take $ARGUMENTS as item text.
  2. Clean URLs — if the item contains a URL, strip tracking params (see below).
  3. Read /praxis/gtd/01-inbox.md. If missing → error (see below).
  4. Find the ### New section. If missing → error.
  5. Insert with Edit, newest-first (after the header, before existing items):
    • old_string: ### New
    • new_string: ### New\n- [ ] <cleaned item> [created:: TODAY]
    • TODAY = today's date as YYYY-MM-DD.
  6. Report: Captured: <item>.

Example — capture "buy milk" on 2026-05-23:

### New
- [ ] buy milk [created:: 2026-05-23]
- [ ] existing item [created:: 2026-05-20]

URL Cleaning

If the item contains a URL, strip these query params (case-insensitive key):

Group Params
Analytics utm_* (any utm_-prefixed key)
Ad/click IDs fbclid gclid gbraid wbraid msclkid dclid yclid twclid ttclid
Email/marketing mc_eid mc_cid _hsenc _hsmi vero_id vero_conv oly_anon_id oly_enc_id mkt_tok
Social/referral igshid ref ref_src ref_url source spm
Platform si (YouTube/Spotify share token) feature (YouTube)

Rules: remove only listed keys; keep all other params (id q v page t, etc.); drop a trailing ? if no params remain; preserve path + #fragment; leave non-URL text untouched.

Triggers

  • Direct: /gtd:capture buy milk · /gtd:capture call John about project
  • Natural language: "add buy milk to inbox" · "capture: need to call John" · "inbox: review quarterly goals"

Notes

  • Append as-is — no flags, no parsing, no priority sorting (that's triage).
  • Empty ### New is fine. Preserve all other sections unchanged.

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.
