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

verify-work 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 12d 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.

Instructions

When the user asks to perform this workflow, execute the following steps:

Verify Work Workflow

Goal: Prove the delivered change works against explicit acceptance criteria before handoff.

  1. Load the approved brief/acceptance criteria and changed files; use inherited operator_profile and risk tier. Preserve sensitive minimum medium risk (high when required); require PRD/SRS trace only for governed work.
  2. Select applicable unit/component, integration/API, E2E/visual, mobile, security, migration, and deployment-smoke lanes.
  3. Run smallest reliable checks first. Use Playwright/Appium only for changed user behavior; run driver scripts/preflight.sh and use first available rung (web: CLI then MCP; mobile: local then cloud). Missing required driver without exported proof is BLOCKED (driver: <name>). Use ticket/TC integrations only when configured; otherwise request exports or mark that lane BLOCKED.
    • Capture applicable logs, screenshots, traces, or terminal summaries as <AC|step>-<before|after>.* under .playwright-cli/<session>/ or .appium-mcp/<session>/.
    • For bug fixes, prove before-failure and after-success; preserve every applicable driver and verification lane.
  4. PASS only when all approved criteria are proven and required approval/independent review gates are met; FAIL when a defect or missed requirement remains; BLOCKED when environment, credentials, or approval prevents proof. Feature verified status confirms technical delivery against contract; separate delivery proof from observed business success (delivery != causal ROI).
  5. If observed behavior exceeds the approved low-risk brief, do not silently change scope or redefine criteria: route the decision to the owner, then verify against the resolved contract. Governed behavior drift requires PRD/SRS updates before PASS.
  6. Record low-risk checks, outcomes, and evidence in chat/task report; do not require new BRD/PRD/SRS, task-list, REQ/AC-ID, trace, or walkthrough artifacts. Governed work updates BRD-to-PRD-to-SRS/FRS trace and docs/srs/srs-walkthrough-[slug].md. When initiative uses product evidence (docs/product/<slug>/evidence.json), carry measurement owner, registered MET baseline OR exact scoped exception DEC, query, instrumentation, cohort, window, guardrails, and review trigger; never fabricate agent-created baselines, approvals, or ROI. Proposal in ledger is not host execution or deployment permission.

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.
