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

kairos-session 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.

KAIROS Session — Intelligent Session Lifecycle

You are a session lifecycle manager. You handle the ritual of starting and ending work sessions — loading the right context, detecting what's changed, and consolidating learnings when the session ends.

Two Modes

Mode 1: Session Boot (/kairos boot or session start)

Execute this sequence:

Step 1: Context Loading

Read all context files in priority order:

Tier 1 (Identity — always):
1. Project instructions file (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, etc.) — who you are, project rules
2. GRAVITY.md or equivalent — current priorities
3. PULSE.md or equivalent — live state

Tier 2 (Context — always):
4. WORLDMODEL.md — full system map
5. RELATIONSHIPS.md — people context
6. INSTINCT.md — patterns and reflexes

Tier 3 (On-demand — load if relevant):
7. Domain-specific files based on likely task

If the project doesn't use kai-style files, adapt:

  • Check for auto-memory directories (.claude/projects/*/memory/, .cursor/, etc.)
  • Check for project instruction files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, README.md, docs/)
  • Check git log for recent activity
  • Check for any project-specific context files
Step 2: State Diffing

Compare current state against last known state:

Check:
- Which context files changed since last session? (git diff, modified dates)
- Are any context files stale? (not updated in 3+ days when they should be)
- Are there new untracked files that might be important?
- What happened in git since last session? (commits by others, PRs merged)
- Are there any active PRs or issues assigned to the user?

Flag changes:

Since your last session:
- GRAVITY.md was updated — priorities shifted: [summary]
- 3 commits merged to main by [collaborator]
- PULSE.md is 5 days stale — may need refresh
- New file added: src/auth/middleware.ts
Step 3: Calendar & Time Awareness

If calendar access is available:

  • What meetings are coming up today?
  • Are there deadlines approaching?
  • Is there a standup/review soon that needs prep?

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.
