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

session-save 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 today.

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 — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/session-save

Capture the current session into a structured handoff file so you (or another instance) can resume with full context. Creates a timestamped Markdown file in .claude/sessions/.

When to Use

  • Before ending a session that isn't complete
  • Before switching to a different task
  • Before context reaches 75%+ (to preserve the important parts)
  • At natural milestones in a long task (after each phase)
  • To hand off to a second Claude instance

Instructions

Produce a handoff document with the following structure:


Session Handoff: [TIMESTAMP]

What Was Being Done

[One paragraph: the goal, the approach, where things stand right now]

Files Modified This Session

[List every file that was created, edited, or deleted, with the nature of the change]

path/to/file.ts      - [what changed and why]
path/to/other.ts     - [what changed and why]

Key Decisions Made

[Architectural choices, tradeoffs accepted, approaches rejected and why]

  • Decision: [What was decided]
    • Rationale: [Why]
    • Alternatives rejected: [What else was considered]

Current Status

[Where things are right now: what's working, what's broken, what's in-progress]

  • Working: [...]
  • In-progress: [...]
  • Known issues: [...]

Next Steps (Ordered)

[The exact next actions to take to continue, specific enough that a fresh context can pick up without re-reading everything]

  1. [First action]: path/to/file.ts - [what to do]
  2. [...]

Context to Reload

[Files that must be read to resume with full understanding, keep this list short]

  • path/to/key-file.ts: [why it matters]
  • CLAUDE.md: project rules

Blockers / Open Questions

[Anything unresolved that needs a decision or external input before proceeding]

  • [Question or blocker]: [who/what can resolve it]

Implementation

Save the handoff to .claude/sessions/handoff-[YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM].md. Then output the file path so the user knows where to find it.

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.
