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

scratch 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

Scratch

Overview

低门槛的临时信息捕获区。核心解决两个问题:不丢东西和被定期消化。

与 todo/ 的区别:

  • todo 是行动承诺("我要做这件事"),scratch 是信息捕获("我注意到了这个")
  • todo 有优先级和完成状态,scratch 只有"待处理/已处理"
  • scratch 条目可以升级为 todo,也可以升级为 question/tech/issue/decision 等正式实例

单文件设计:scratch/scratch.md——不用想文件名,一屏看完所有待处理项,因为有消化机制不会无限膨胀。

When to Use

  • 用户随口提到一个问题,但还不值得开 question/
  • 用户有个临时想法或灵感,还没想清楚
  • 用户观察到某个现象,不是 todo 也不是 issue,但应该记下来
  • 用户说"记一下"、"想到个事"、"有个问题"、"有个想法"等

不应触发本 skill 的场景:

  • 用户明确说"加个 todo" → 路由到 personal-todo
  • 用户有明确的结构化问题要分析 → 路由到 question/ 或 deep-questioner

Workspace Contract

  • 速记文件固定为 scratch/scratch.md
  • 不创建其他文件(条目升级后,正式文档创建在目标目录)
  • 两个分区:## 待处理 和 ## 已处理
  • 每条速记格式:- YYYY-MM-DD | 🏷️ 一句话描述
    • 💡 想法/灵感
    • ❓ 问题/疑问
    • 👀 观察/信号
    • 🔗 线索/参考
    • 💭 随想/杂念

Workflow

Step 1: 判断操作类型

意图 操作
空参数 / "看看" 查看速记
一句话描述 添加速记
"升级" / "展开" 升级速记为正式文档
"丢弃" / "不要了" 丢弃速记
"清理" 批量清理

Step 2: 添加速记

  1. 自动判断类型标签(含"?"→❓,含"可以/如果"→💡,含"发现/注意到"→👀,含"链接/文章"→🔗,其他→💭)
  2. 在 ## 待处理 区末尾追加
  3. 使用当前日期

Step 3: 升级速记

  1. 匹配待处理区的目标条目
  2. 判断升级方向(question/tech/issue/decision/todo/playbook)
  3. 创建正式文档(如有模板则使用)
  4. 建立双向链接:scratch 中记录 → [[目标文档路径]],目标文档标注来源
  5. 将条目从"待处理"移到"已处理"

Step 4: 丢弃速记

将条目移到"已处理",标注 → 已丢弃:<原因>

Step 5: 批量清理

  1. 读取所有待处理条目
  2. 标出超过 7 天未处理的条目
  3. 逐条建议:升级 / 丢弃 / 保留

Editing Rules

  • 修改前必须先读取目标文件
  • 优先使用当前 AI 工具提供的最小粒度编辑能力做精确修改
  • scratch skill 只允许写 scratch/scratch.md
  • 升级操作创建的正式文档遵循目标目录的命名约定
  • 不创建临时文件、备份文件
  • 不要整文件覆盖已有的 scratch/scratch.md

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.
