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

using 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.

Using arcforge

Pick the smallest workflow that fits. This skill is an index, not a gate: find the row that matches your situation, invoke that skill, and stop reading here. If nothing matches, no arcforge skill applies — just do the work.

Skill Map

Skill Use when
/writing-skills you are authoring or revising an arcforge skill (user-invoked)
/brainstorming a request is underspecified, several designs are plausible, or the user is thinking out loud rather than asking for code
/executing work needs more than one step, a task list is waiting to be run, or you are choosing between attended and unattended execution
/speccing the user asks to start keeping product intent under product/; or a project already keeps it there and one of these applies — a wish needs capturing, a version needs its spec before it is built, a recorded decision is being reversed, or a shipped version needs its roadmap and spec flipped
/tdd you are about to write implementation code, fix a bug, or found code with no test
/debugging a test fails, a bug is reported, behavior surprises you, a build breaks, or a fix you tried did not hold
/code-review a change is ready to hand off — the diff needs review before it merges, or review feedback just came back
/dispatching work could run in parallel — splitting it across agents, giving each an isolated worktree, briefing them, or accepting what comes back
/finishing implementation is done and the branch or worktree needs merging, a PR, keeping, or discarding
/sessions context is about to be lost — work is stopping mid-task and the next session or another person has to pick it up, you are starting from an earlier handover or a named session archive, the user wants the session saved under a name, or a long session is filling up and you are deciding whether to compact
/learning you are capturing a session diary, mining diaries for patterns, or reviewing what the opt-in learning subsystem wants to activate (user-invoked)
/looping you are handing a task list to an unattended loop that will keep working after you walk away (user-invoked)
/evaluating a claim about agent behavior needs evidence — you are designing or auditing an eval scenario, or reading a verdict out of eval numbers
/maintaining-obsidian something should be filed into the user's Obsidian vault, a question should be answered from it, or it needs auditing or bootstrapping
/diagramming-obsidian the user wants something shown visually — an architecture, a flow, a mind map — as an Excalidraw diagram in their vault

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.
