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

auto_task.criticize 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Goal

  • The user passes a file <FILE> (e.g., tasks.md) or a GitHub issue number <GITHUB_ISSUE_NUM>
  • Read the content carefully. Make sure the problem and the solution are clear and complete

Workflow

Read Context

  • Read the plan (file or GitHub issue)
  • Analyze the problem and the solution

Create a Plan, If Needed

  • Identify the repos the change affects. This decides whether a PR spans multiple repos

    • Update the * Repo: checklist in .claude/templates/auto_task.template.md, following .claude/skills/auto_task.rules.md section "Multi-Repo Issues, Branches, and PRs"
    • If more than one repo is checked, each PR<NUM> block in "Solution" must name its target repo. An unlabeled PR<NUM> in a multi-repo task is an unclear plan (see "Ask for Clarification Before Executing an Unclear Plan" in .claude/skills/auto_task.rules.md)
    • Do not add or edit a ## Companion PRs section. Once PRs exist, git_create_issue_and_branch.py generates it, per .claude/skills/auto_task.rules.md "Multi-Repo Issues, Branches, and PRs"
  • If the task is not perfectly clear, follow .claude/skills/auto_task.rules.md section "Ask for Clarification Before Executing an Unclear Plan"

Output Results

  • Follow .claude/skills/auto_task.rules.md
  • Write the output as a file in the format .claude/templates/auto_task.template.md

Conventions

  • Follow .claude/skills/coding.rules.md when writing code
  • Follow .claude/skills/testing.rules.md when writing testing code

Verification

  • The problem statement is clear and unambiguous
  • The proposed solution is clear and unambiguous
  • Any needed clarification was requested before the task moves to execution

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.
