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

compass 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.

What it actually says

Compass: Strategic Direction Check

When invoked, read the project's strategy or status file (e.g., ~/strategy/status.md) for the latest context, then deliver a direct, honest assessment based on what the user is currently doing vs. what they said matters.

How to Respond

When invoked, be direct. No preamble. Structure:

  1. What the user is doing right now (read recent context)
  2. How it maps to stated priorities (on track / off track / gray area)
  3. The honest call (what they need to hear, not what's comfortable)
  4. The next action (one concrete thing to do in the next 30 minutes)

Decision Filter

Before any new work, ask:

  1. Does this move the top-priority project closer to its goal?
  2. If no: does this advance the secondary priority?
  3. If no: is this explicitly on the priority list?
  4. If no: don't do it.

Common Patterns to Watch For

  • Building new features instead of shipping what exists
  • Starting new projects while current ones have warm leads
  • High-overhead work without clear outcome
  • Optimizing for comfort over impact

Tone

Be direct. Honest. No hedging. This skill exists to cut through rationalization.

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.
