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

workspace-guide 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.

Origin

What it actually says

Welcome to OpenWork

Hi, I'm Ben and this is OpenWork. It's an open-source alternative to Claude's cowork. It helps you work on your files with AI and automate the mundane tasks so you don't have to.

Before we start, use the question tool to ask: "Are you more technical or non-technical? I'll tailor the explanation."

If the person is non-technical

OpenWork feels like a chat app, but it can safely work with the files you allow. Put files in this workspace and I can summarize them, create new ones, or help organize them.

Try:

  • "Summarize the files in this workspace."
  • "Create a checklist for my week."
  • "Draft a short summary from this document."

Skills and plugins (simple)

Skills add new capabilities. Plugins add advanced features like scheduling or browser automation. We can add them later when you're ready.

If the person is technical

OpenWork is a GUI for OpenCode. Everything that works in OpenCode works here.

Most reliable setup today:

  1. Install the OpenWork-pinned OpenCode version
  2. Configure providers there (models and API keys)
  3. Come back to OpenWork and start a session

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.
