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

papi-auto 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.

papi-auto

Use papi-plan, papi-build, papi-strategy and papi-idea for the canonical phase rules. This skill coordinates one cycle; it grants no new scope, human review authority, publication, deployment or external messaging.

Modes

  • dry-run: orient, inspect the current cycle, handoffs and evidence, then show proposed actions. Do not claim tasks, apply plans or edit files.
  • Resume/default: continue the already approved cycle from its recorded state.
  • unattended: continue only already authorized work. Never bypass plan approval, human verdicts, access controls or release authority.

Orient and preserve progress

Keep the active project connection and workspace binding fixed. Surface its name and verify it matches the intended project. Inspect the caller-owned cycle with build_list; distinguish teammate cycles, claims and person-only decisions. Use MCP records as project authority, not .papi/ files.

Fetch remote main before new branches. Preserve unrelated dirty work and isolate in a permitted task directory; never auto-stash, reset or discard it. Record the exact base, branch, owner, scope and durable receipts.

  • In Progress: inspect its branch, commits, saved changes and owned process before resuming. A status alone is not progress.
  • In Review: already built. Read its report and review queue; never rebuild.
  • In Cycle/Backlog: check for existing implementation first. Build only eligible approved tasks with a handoff and satisfied prerequisites.
  • Done/Cancelled: skip. Never change historical ownership for bookkeeping.
  • Already shipped with missing evidence: follow papi-plan's restoration route.

When no cycle is active, prepare at least two coherent eligible tasks, aiming for three when available. Show exact IDs, names, scope and blockers before applying. An approved resume needs no new scope approval. Never silently drop tasks, include another person's work or invent filler. Run a due strategy review in this conversation; material choices require the user's authority. Never force past the planner's gate.
