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

flow-next-visual 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 23d 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 — 197 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Visual — human-first markdown digest

Restate one thing visually, in compact markdown, on one screen. The structure IS the output: the reader scans the shape, spots the wrong thing, and drills into only that file instead of reading everything to find out whether anything is wrong.

Output contract: compact markdown visuals rendered in chat — fenced text/diff/code blocks and tiny tables. Never images, never HTML files, never a written artifact. Everything here renders natively in the terminal, in chat, and on every forge: diff fences color for free, text is monospace everywhere, ```ts gets highlighting for free. There is no rendering machinery — the shapes below are the whole product.

Read-only. This skill reads state and responds. It never writes files, never mutates flow state, never commits, never runs a workflow. (If the user asks to save a digest, that is an ordinary Write with ordinary consent — not a mode of this skill.)

Preamble

flowctl is bundled with the plugin (not on PATH). Define once; subsequent blocks use $FLOWCTL:

FLOWCTL="${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/scripts/flowctl"
[ -x "$FLOWCTL" ] || FLOWCTL="<plugin-root>/scripts/flowctl"   # <plugin-root> = the directory two levels above this skill's SKILL.md file (the harness gave you that file's absolute path when the skill loaded); substitute it literally
[ -x "$FLOWCTL" ] || FLOWCTL=".flow/bin/flowctl"

Input

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS — optional. One of:

  • Spec id (fn-12-add-oauth) → spec digest
  • Task id (fn-12-add-oauth.1) → task digest
  • Git range (main..HEAD, abc123..def456, or the bare word diff) → diff digest
  • Nothing, or free-form text → ad-hoc restate of the current topic (or of the text pointed at)

Digest modes

Spec digest (post-plan) — the primary mode

Read $FLOWCTL show <spec-id> --json, the spec markdown ($FLOWCTL cat <spec-id>), and every task file ($FLOWCTL cat <task-id>). Emit these six elements, in order, on one screen:

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
