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

agent-session-retro 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 9d 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.

Agent Session Retrospective

Conduct structured retrospectives at session end to continuously improve agent-user collaboration.

When using this skill, begin by stating: "I'm using the agent-session-retro skill to conduct an end-of-session retrospective and identify improvements."

Purpose

End-of-session retrospectives help identify:

  • Skill gaps: Missing or incomplete skills that would have helped
  • Skill improvements: Updates to existing skills based on learnings
  • Process improvements: Changes to AGENTS.md, workflows, or collaboration patterns
  • Tooling issues: Problems with tools or their integration
  • Communication patterns: What worked well or poorly in agent-user interaction

When to Use

  • At the end of significant work sessions
  • After completing complex or novel tasks
  • When user explicitly requests retrospective
  • When you notice recurring inefficiencies or friction points

Retrospective Process

1. Review the Session

Critical: Make sure to review the contents of the session in its entirety. Do NOT rely on summarized context or assumptions!

What was accomplished?

  • Main objectives and outcomes
  • Tickets/tasks completed
  • Artifacts created or updated
  • Problems solved

What was the scope?

  • How long did it take?
  • How many context windows?
  • What skills were used?
  • What tools were involved?

2. Identify What Worked Well

Effective practices:

  • Clear communication patterns
  • Useful skills or tools
  • Good decision points
  • Efficient workflows

Examples to look for:

  • User provided clear direction at key decision points
  • Existing skills provided good guidance
  • Tools worked smoothly together
  • Process was efficient and low-friction

3. Identify Inefficiencies and Friction

Common categories:

Skill-related:

  • Missing skills that would have helped
  • Existing skills that were too verbose or too sparse
  • Skills that conflicted or overlapped
  • Skills that didn't match actual usage patterns

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.
