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

build-workflow 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Scaffold one workflow stage by orchestrating two subagents with the Task tool, in order:

  1. New workflow only. If this is the first stage of a new workflow, first spawn the claude-code-guide subagent to confirm the current Claude Code docs the scaffolding depends on: subagent Stop/SubagentStop gates, whether agentType fires those gates inside a workflow, and the dynamic-workflow script API. Skip this on later stages of the same workflow.
  2. Scaffold. Spawn the build-workflow generator agent (subagent type build-workflow:build-workflow) and give it the stage spec below plus any doc corrections from step 1. Return its result.

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.
