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

document-release 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 — 208 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Document Release: Post-Ship Documentation Update

Announce at start: "I'm using the document-release skill to audit and update project documentation."

Run after code changes are committed but before PR merge. Ensures all project documentation accurately reflects shipped code.

Beads Integration

# Create a doc-update bead at start
bd create "Docs: update documentation for <branch>" -t chore

Closed with evidence at Step 9 — the single source of truth for the close command.

Key Operating Principles

Automation with guardrails: Make obvious factual corrections automatically (path updates, version numbers, table additions) but pause for subjective decisions (narrative changes, security model updates, large rewrites, version bumps).

Auto-update (apply without asking):

  • Factual corrections derived directly from the diff
  • Adding items to existing lists and tables
  • Updating file paths, counts, and version numbers
  • Fixing stale cross-references between documents
  • Minor CHANGELOG wording polish (preserving all content)
  • Marking TODOs as complete

Always ask before:

  • Narrative or philosophy changes
  • Removing any section
  • Security model rewrites
  • Large rewrites (10+ lines in one section)
  • VERSION bumps
  • New TODO items

Audit Methodology (9-Step Process)

Step 0: Platform Detection

Detect git platform (GitHub/GitLab/unknown) and determine the base branch. Use gh/glab if available, fall back to git-native commands.

Done when: the platform and base branch are both determined.

Step 1: Pre-flight and Diff Analysis

  1. Verify you are on a feature branch (not base branch)
  2. Gather what changed: git diff <base>..HEAD and git log --oneline <base>..HEAD
  3. Discover all .md files: find . -name '*.md' -not -path './.git/*' -not -path './.worktrees/*'
  4. Categorise changes: new features, behaviour changes, removals, infrastructure

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.
