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

weekly-digest 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 3d 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.

Weekly Digest

Produce a weekly synthesis from the archived brief notes. All data comes from .claude-code-hermit/briefs/ — no re-fetching of sources. Cheap to run.

Steps

  1. Read the week's briefs. Glob .claude-code-hermit/briefs/*.md (exclude the weekly/ subdirectory), then filter to files whose filename date prefix falls within the past 7 days (today minus 6 days through today). Read each matching file (frontmatter + body).

    • Directory absent or empty → deliver "No briefs archived this week." and stop.
    • Fewer than 3 briefs → note the gap, produce the digest from whatever is available.
    • Track the actual count of files read — this is brief_count for the archive.
  2. Synthesize content. From the brief bodies:

    • Top stories — items appearing across multiple briefs or escalating in coverage. Cite which day(s) they appeared.
    • Emerging themes — topics absent early in the week that dominated late in the week.
    • Faded stories — topics in ≥2 consecutive early-week briefs that appear in no late-week brief. Surface at most 2; omit the section if none meet the threshold.
    • Category activity — count items per category directly from brief bodies across all briefs. Do NOT use top_categories frontmatter for this tally — it is pre-truncated to top 5 per brief and undercounts categories that consistently rank below the cutoff.
  3. Source performance. Read feed-sources.md for the full source list, then from frontmatter across the week:

    • Reliable sources — appeared in sources_used in ≥5 briefs.
    • Unreliable sources — appeared in sources_skipped more often than sources_used. Include the skip count (e.g. "Source X (skipped 8/12 briefs)").
    • Silent sources — in feed-sources.md but in neither sources_used nor sources_skipped across any brief this week (may never have been attempted). Keep to 3–5 bullets, actionable framing.
    • sources_skipped (fetch failures) is the reliability signal. sources_quiet (0 items on a quiet day) is NOT — never count quiet days against a source's reliability.

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.
