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

qstack-plan-prior-art 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 327 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/qstack-plan-prior-art

Read the plans this project already wrote, then brief the plan about to be written. The corpus holds decisions that were made, work that was postponed on purpose, and execution records saying what the work actually cost.

This runs on its own, because the moment it helps is the moment nobody remembers to ask for it.

Read-only

Writes nothing into the plan folder. Never edits a plan, never appends to board-events.js, never commits. The output is a brief in the response plus one block the planner pastes into the new plan.

The brief is derived: delete it and a second run reproduces it. The durable part is the citations that land in the new plan's research-basis sheet. So keep the brief short and get the references exactly right.

The boundary with /qstack-reflect

/qstack-reflect counts. It reads across every worktree Git tracks, reports numbers a reader can reproduce, and refuses to interpret them. A plan folder is a file count there, never a source of meaning.

This skill reads the plan text and interprets it, for one purpose: informing the plan about to be written. That single purpose is what permits the interpretation. Do not widen it into a project health report, and do not fold the two skills together. Reflect stays mechanical, this one stays narrow.

Arguments

/qstack-plan-prior-art [plan-dir ...]

Every argument is a directory holding plans, relative to the repository root or absolute. Supplied paths are authoritative: read those and skip discovery. This is the escape hatch for a project whose plans live in docs/, in rfcs/, or outside the repository.

The subject comes from the conversation rather than the arguments. It is the feature the user is about to plan. When /qstack-plan-to-html is the caller, it is whichever source that skill resolved, either the Markdown draft or the plan summary the user just confirmed. When it is not clear, state what you took it to be in the brief's first line, so a wrong guess is visible before anything is read.

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.
