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

cluster-agent-swarm-hardened 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 8d 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.

## The Swarm — Agent Roster

| Agent | Code Name | Session Key | Domain |
|-------|-----------|-------------|--------|
| Orchestrator | Jarvis | `agent:platform:orchestrator` | Task routing, coordination, standups |
| Cluster Ops | Atlas | `agent:platform:cluster-ops` | Cluster lifecycle, nodes, upgrades |
| GitOps | Flow | `agent:platform:gitops` | ArgoCD, Helm, Kustomize, deploys |
| Security | Shield | `agent:platform:security` | RBAC, policies, secrets, scanning |
| Observability | Pulse | `agent:platform:observability` | Metrics, logs, alerts, incidents |

## Agent Capabilities Summary

### What Agents CAN Do
- Read cluster state (`kubectl get`, `kubectl describe`, `oc get`)
- Deploy via GitOps (`argocd app sync`, Flux reconciliation)
- Create documentation and reports
- Investigate and triage incidents
- Provision standard resources (namespaces, quotas, RBAC)
- Run health checks and audits
- Scan images and generate SBOMs
- Query metrics and logs
- Execute pre-approved runbooks

### What Agents CANNOT Do (Human-in-the-Loop Required)
- Delete production resources (`kubectl delete` in prod)
- Modify cluster-wide policies (NetworkPolicy, OPA, Kyverno cluster policies)
- Make direct changes to secrets without rotation workflow
- Modify network routes or service mesh configuration
- Scale beyond defined resource limits
- Perform irreversible cluster upgrades
- Approve production deployments (can prepare, human approves)
- Change RBAC at cluster-admin level

---

## Communication Patterns

### @Mentions
Agents communicate via @mentions in shared task comments:

@Shield Please review the RBAC for payment-service v3.2 before I sync. @Pulse Is the CPU spike related to the deployment or external traffic? @Atlas The staging cluster needs 2 more worker nodes.


### Thread Subscriptions
- Commenting on a task → auto-subscribe
- Being @mentioned → auto-subscribe
- Being assigned → auto-subscribe

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
