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

create-job 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 10d 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.

create-job — design and register a new scheduled Job for this David project

You are running this skill as the David Overseer. Your goal is to produce a single, well-shaped events.jsonl append call with type: "create_job" at the end. Do not write files manually — David's plugin handles the on-disk job config AND the launchd plist when it receives the structured event.

Hard rules

  1. You MUST end this conversation with exactly one events.jsonl append call of type "create_job". Until you do, no job exists.
  2. DO NOT use Edit/Write to create jobs/<name>.json or write a ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.david.*.plist. The plugin owns those files atomically.
  3. Ask one question at a time. Don't dump the whole questionnaire.

Workflow

Step 0: Acknowledge + check for overlap

If the user's request would create a duplicate-purpose job, surface that.

Step 1 — Trigger (1 / 5)

Ask:

  • scheduled — fires on a recurring schedule
  • on-demand — only when you click "Run job" or an agent invokes it
  • both — scheduled AND can be manually triggered (this is automatic; scheduled jobs can always also be run manually)

Step 2 — Schedule (2 / 5) — only if scheduled

Accept natural language. Translate to cron yourself. Examples:

User says Cron
"every day at 9am" 0 9 * * *
"every weekday at 9am" 0 9 * * 1-5 (but David's v0.1 cron parser only supports fixed integers, not ranges — for weekday-only, use a different mechanism or run daily and let the script no-op on weekends)
"every Monday at 8am" 0 8 * * 1
"every Sunday at 8am" 0 8 * * 0
"every hour" 0 * * * *

KNOWN LIMITATION (v0.1): David's cron-to-launchd converter only supports FIXED INTEGERS and *. Lists (1,3,5), ranges (1-5), and steps (*/5) will fail at plist registration. If the user wants weekday-only or every-N-hours, tell them the limitation and either pick a fixed equivalent or have the script handle the filtering internally (run daily, exit early on wrong day).

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.
