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

workspace-standards 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 2d 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

Workspace Management Standards

Cross-Project Documentation

Each project must maintain:

  1. README.md at root: purpose, quick start, usage examples, cost implications
  2. Directory structure docs for complex projects
  3. Change logs for significant modifications

Git Workflow

  • Branching: main for production. Prefixes: feature/, bugfix/, hotfix/, release/, chore/.
  • Commits: Follow Conventional Commits (feat:, fix:, docs:, etc.).
  • Worktrees: All development in dedicated worktrees (see /git-workflow-standards).

Security

  • Use .env locally (never committed) and secure parameter stores for cloud.
  • Principle of least privilege for all resources and services.

Cost Management

Environment Lifecycle
Development Automated shutdown
Testing Manual cleanup
Production Scheduled backups

Define and monitor monthly budgets per environment.

Project Lifecycle

  • Create: Initialize with standard templates (README, .gitignore, LICENSE).
  • Maintain: Review dependencies, update docs, optimize costs.
  • Retire: Document, archive, clean up.
  • claude-skill-authoring (project-standards) — Use when authoring Claude skills/agents/rules — token budgets, progressive disclosure, placement
  • skills-registry (project-standards) — Use when looking up available tools, skills, commands, agents, or plugins
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.
