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

guidance scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

Reads agent configuration directorieslowAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

**Cross-reference:** for each detected concern, grep the existing `.claude/guidance/` corpus for keyword coverage. A topic is a **gap** if (a) the concern shows up in code (not just transitive deps) and (b) no existing g

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 338 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/guidance — Author and audit project guidance

Help the user write, edit, or audit guidance docs. By default the skill writes guidance for Claude into .claude/guidance/ as Markdown and enforces the universal rules from .claude/guidance/moflo-guidance-rules.md (the single source of truth — do not paraphrase or duplicate). Flags switch the audience (-h → humans) and the output format (--html → HTML).

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Modes and flags

Flag Effect
(none) Single-doc mode for Claude — Markdown, full universal rules, destination .claude/guidance/<kebab-topic>.md
-h Switch audience to humans — Markdown, lighter human ruleset, destination docs/<kebab-topic>.md
--html Emit HTML (with the minimal default stylesheet from Step 2.5) instead of Markdown. Composes with -h.
-a Audit mode — two-pass triage of .claude/guidance/ (Claude only). Cannot combine with -h or --html.
<topic-or-path> Topic name (kebab-cased into the default destination) or an explicit file path that overrides the default destination.

Combos:

  • -h --html → HTML for humans, default destination docs/<kebab-topic>.html
  • --html alone → HTML for Claude. Unusual: Claude reads Markdown, not HTML. Warn the user and offer to add -h (write to docs/ instead).
  • An explicit <path> always wins over the default destination. If the path's directory contradicts the audience flag (e.g. -h .claude/guidance/foo.md), warn but honor the path.
  • -a -h / -a --html → reject; audit mode targets .claude/guidance/ (Claude) and emits a triage report, not a doc.

Step 0 — Memory First

Before reading any files, run a memory search:

mcp__moflo__memory_search { query: "guidance rules writing project conventions", namespace: "guidance" }

This pulls the user's project-specific guidance conventions (if any) plus the moflo universal rules into context. The memory-first gate will block file reads otherwise.

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.
