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

cf-onboard 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 3d 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.

Context Forge Onboard

You are guiding a user through Context Forge project onboarding. Follow these steps in order — skip any step whose precondition is already met.

Step 1 — Detect existing project

Run cf project list and check whether a project is already registered at the current working directory.

  • If a project exists at this path → skip to Step 3.
  • If no project exists → continue to Step 2.

Step 2 — Create project

Ask the user what they'd like to name their project. If they provided a name with the request, use that. If the user declines to choose, default to the current directory name.

Run cf init <name>. This single command handles everything: git initialization, project registration, guide installation, command/skill installation, and IDE setup. After cf init completes, continue to Step 3.

Important: Do not rely on environment context (like "Is a git repository") to determine git status — cf init checks the actual directory and handles git initialization itself.

If the Context Forge MCP server is configured and shell access is unavailable, fall back to its project_create tool (with name and projectPath set to the CWD) followed by guide_install. The MCP fallback cannot initialize git — if the directory is not a git repository, inform the user they need to run git init first.

Step 3 — Transition to concept discussion

The project is set up. Run cf build and use the output as your working context to begin the Phase 0 (Concept) conversation.

Begin by asking the user to describe what they want to build. Guide them through the concept exploration naturally — the context prompt provides the structure. The goal is a concept document at the end of this conversation.

Step 4 — Mention ongoing guidance

After the concept conversation concludes (or if the user wants to pause), mention: "You can run cf next (or the cf-next skill) anytime to see what to do next. It adapts as your project progresses."

Notes

  • If an MCP tool call fails, fall back to the CLI equivalent.
  • If the user already has a project but is in a later phase (not Phase 0), acknowledge this and suggest cf next instead of starting a concept discussion.
  • Keep the conversation natural. This is onboarding, not a checklist. Adapt to what the user is telling you.

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.
