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

capture-to-vault 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 1mo 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 — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Capture to Vault

Draft a note and write it. Surface the slug and any non-obvious placement decisions afterward so the user can redirect or revise. Do not wait for approval before writing. One note per call.

Modes

  • create (default) — write a new vault note via mcp__dossier-mcp__create_note.
  • update — refine an existing note in place via mcp__dossier-mcp__update_note. Preserves required frontmatter and auto-bumps the updated: field.

Input

  • mode (optional) — create (default) or update.
  • body — the finding, decision, or synthesis. Markdown. Lead with the conclusion or key takeaway. In update mode, this represents the intended new state of the body (or a description sufficient to derive it from the loaded current state).
  • slug (required for update mode) — the existing note's slug.
  • related (optional) — vault slugs the note references. If absent, infer from body content and recent session context.
  • citations (optional) — list of {title, url, accessed} entries from web-researcher findings. Include whenever the body draws on web sources.
  • parent_slug (optional, create mode only) — path prefix hint, e.g. projects/relocation. If absent, infer from content and vault structure. Ignored in update mode.

Process — create mode

  1. Draft the destination slug.

    • If parent_slug is supplied: <parent_slug>/<topic-slug>.
    • Else: infer from body content and related notes. Place as a sibling to the most relevant related note. Avoid inbox/ unless nothing better fits.

  2. Draft the frontmatter:

    • title — readable title derived from the body's main claim
    • date — today's date (YYYY-MM-DD)
    • tags — 2–4 tags inferred from body
    • related — the input related (or inferred list)

  3. Draft the body. Ensure:

    • Lead with the conclusion or key takeaway
    • Density over readability — pack in conclusions and reasoning, not just facts
    • Self-contained — key context inline, not only via links
    • If citations present: include a ## Sources section at the end listing each citation (title — URL — accessed date)

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.
