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

resume_handoff 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 4d 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.

Resume work from a handoff document

You are tasked with resuming work from a handoff document through an interactive process. These handoffs contain critical context, learnings, and next steps from previous work sessions that need to be understood and continued.

Initial Response

When this command is invoked:

  1. If the path to a handoff document was provided:

    • If a handoff document path was provided as a parameter, skip the default message
    • Immediately read the handoff document FULLY
    • Immediately read any research or plan documents that it links to under ./thoughts/shared/plans or ./thoughts/shared/research. do NOT use a sub-agent to read these critical files.
    • Begin the analysis process by ingesting relevant context from the handoff document, reading additional files it mentions
    • Then propose a course of action to the user and confirm, or ask for clarification on direction.
  2. If a ticket number (like ENG-XXXX) was provided:

    • run thoughts-sync to ensure your ./thoughts/ directory is up to date.
    • locate the most recent handoff document for the ticket. Tickets will be located in ./thoughts/shared/handoffs/ENG-XXXX where ENG-XXXX is the ticket number. e.g. for ENG-1234 the handoffs would be in ./thoughts/shared/handoffs/ENG-1234/. List this directory's contents recursively (handoffs are in date subdirectories like YYYY-MM-DD/).
    • There may be zero, one or multiple files across the date subdirectories.
    • If there are zero files, or the directory does not exist: tell the user: "I'm sorry, I can't seem to find that handoff document. Can you please provide me with a path to it?"
    • If there is only one file: proceed with that handoff
    • If there are multiple files: using the date from the subdirectory name (YYYY-MM-DD) and time from the filename (HH-MM-SS), proceed with the most recent handoff document.
    • Immediately read the handoff document FULLY
    • Immediately read any research or plan documents that it links to under ./thoughts/shared/plans or ./thoughts/shared/research; do NOT use a sub-agent to read these critical files.
    • Begin the analysis process by ingesting relevant context from the handoff document, reading additional files it mentions
    • Then propose a course of action to the user and confirm, or ask for clarification on direction.

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.
