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

noteplan 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

NotePlan — Filesystem Access

Read, search, create, and edit NotePlan 3 notes directly through the local filesystem. This is faster than the MCP server and supports bulk operations.

Root path

~/Library/Containers/co.noteplan.NotePlan3/Data/Library/Application Support/co.noteplan.NotePlan3/

Always reference this as NP_ROOT in commands. Use the full expanded path with $HOME — do NOT use ~ inside quoted strings in shell commands.

Directory structure

Path Contents Naming
Calendar/ Daily notes YYYYMMDD.txt (e.g. 20260317.txt)
Calendar/ Weekly notes YYYY-WNN.txt (e.g. 2025-W47.txt)

Notes folder hierarchy

File format

NotePlan files are plain-text markdown (.txt extension) with these conventions:

  • First line: # Title heading (for project notes) or date-based content start (for daily notes)
  • Tasks (*): * task (open), * [x] task (done), * [-] task (cancelled). Tasks are tracked — uncompleted tasks become overdue and show up in reviews. Use sparingly, only for items with a real commitment to complete.
  • Checklist items (+): + item (open), + [x] item (done). Checklists are not tracked — they won't appear as overdue. Use + as the default for notes, ideas, bullets, and anything that doesn't need deadline tracking.
  • Indented sub-items: tabs for nesting under tasks or checklist items
  • Sections: ## Heading or --- dividers
  • Scheduled items: >YYYY-MM-DD moves/schedules a task to a date
  • Links: [[Note Title]] for internal wiki-links
  • Tags: #tag and @mention
  • Time blocks: * Task HH:MM-HH:MM or * Task HH:MM for calendar-like entries

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.
