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

kb-conventions 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 5d 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 — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

KB Conventions

Canonical rules for the agent-knowledge repository. Every document written into the KB must follow these conventions so claims remain traceable and cross-skill-consistent.

Directory layout

<topic>/
  sources/
    <slug>/
      original.pdf        # Raw input (PDF, HTML snapshot, etc.)
      extracted.md        # Text output from pdf-parse — kept under git
      source.md           # llm-wiki page (paper.json schema) — source metadata + claims
  analysis/
    README.md             # Index of all analyses for this topic
    <slug>.md             # Per-source structured analysis
  drafts/                 # WIP integration notes, large synthesis tasks in progress
  synthesis/              # Authoritative KB documents for this topic

One subdirectory per source under sources/ — keeps original, extracted text, and wiki metadata co-located and traceable.

source.md template

Create sources/<slug>/source.md when acquiring a new source. Populate known fields immediately; update claims and concepts after analysis.

Valid type values: paper, article, documentation, clipping, transcript, note, data, book-chapter, thread.

Claim schema

Each entry in claims corresponds to a key finding. Confidence maps from annotation markers:

[INFERRED] 0.6 – 0.8
[SPECULATIVE] 0.1 – 0.4

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.
