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

backlog-burndown 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 3d 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

Backlog Burndown Skill

Use this skill when you need a structured way to track backlog completion pace, scope drift, and risk to sprint commitments.

Use Cases

  • Daily burn-down check for sprint backlog health.
  • Mid-sprint risk review for scope creep and blocked work.
  • End-of-week status update with actionable backlog triage recommendations.
  • Combined issue-and-open-PR burn-down so in-flight PRs count toward remaining scope.

Agent Pairing

  • sprint-planner for commitment and capacity context.
  • issue-triage for blocker and priority updates.
  • orphaned-pr-cleanup for open-PR state, mergeability, and stale-PR triage.
  • product-manager for scope trade-off decisions.

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.
