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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00143 $0.00872
Opus 5 $0.00072 $0.00436
Sonnet 5 $0.00029 $0.00174

Security

Grade A, and why

file-todos 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

File-based TODO Lifecycle

Track review findings and work items as individual markdown files in todos/. Each file captures the full context — problem, evidence, proposed solutions, and work log — so any agent can pick it up and resolve it independently.

Naming Convention

{id}-{status}-{priority}-{description}.md
Segment Format Example
id 3-digit zero-padded 001, 042, 100
status One of: pending, ready, complete pending
priority One of: p1, p2, p3 p1
description kebab-case, max 50 chars missing-auth-middleware

Full example: 001-pending-p1-missing-auth-middleware.md

Statuses

Status Meaning
pending Created from review findings. Needs triage — no decision made yet.
ready Approved by user during triage. Ready to be worked on.
complete Work finished. Issue resolved and verified.

Priorities

Priority Level When to use
p1 Critical Blocks merge, security/data issues, crashes
p2 Important Should fix — performance, architecture, reliability concerns
p3 Nice-to-have Cleanup, minor improvements, documentation

Operations

Create a TODO

Find the highest existing ID in todos/ and increment by 1. Start at 001 if the directory is empty.

Use the Write tool to create the file at todos/{id}-pending-{priority}-{description}.md using the template in references/todo-template.md.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
