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 9d 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.

Steps

  1. Load scope:
    • BRD-lite, PRD, SRS/FRS, ticket, implementation plan, release note, acceptance criteria, non-goals, changed files, matched skills, and inherited operator_profile (carry, do not re-infer).
  2. Select verification lanes:
    • Unit/component, integration/API, E2E/visual, mobile, security, migration, or deployment smoke.
  3. Execute:
    • Run the smallest reliable automated checks first.
    • Use Playwright/Appium only when user-facing behavior changed.
    • Use Zephyr/Jira/GitHub/GitLab/ADO MCPs only when configured; otherwise record local evidence.
    • If external MCP is unavailable, ask for exported ticket/PR/TC data or mark that lane BLOCKED.
    • Capture Evidence: logs, screenshots, traces, or terminal output summaries.
    • Comparative Audit: If it's a bug fix, prove the "Before" (failure) vs "After" (success).
  4. Judge:
    • PASS: all acceptance criteria proven.
    • FAIL: original bug or missed requirement still reproducible.
    • BLOCKED: environment, credentials, or approval prevents proof.
  5. Record evidence:
    • If verification reveals behavior drift, require PRD/SRS updates before PASS.
    • Update traceability notes from BRD objective -> PRD requirement -> SRS/FRS contract -> verification evidence.
    • Update project-local docs/srs/srs-walkthrough.md.
    • Route next step back to implementation or dev-fix.

Runtime Contract

  • Use after implementation, before handoff, or when validating a bug fix.
  • Required inputs: explicit scope plus acceptance criteria or expected behavior.
  • Return BLOCKED only when environment, credentials, or approval prevents proof.

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.
