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

analyze 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 4d 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 — 240 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Analyze Workflows

Your first text is a line for the leader. Every word of text you write reaches the leader as a chat message, text before or between tool calls included. So the first text you write in a chat is your first line to the leader (the opening, a routing line, a resume line or an entry check's question): until then, make tool calls with no text at all, not even a few words on what you're reading, the state you found or what comes next. After it, write text only when it's for the leader, and never narrate your own work (files read, scripts run, states, the rule you're applying).

This skill records each opportunity the student has to get more value from AI (friction to remove, or work they'd do more of, or better, with the time) as a candidate workflow: the work, the pain, its size and the value lever. It catalogs: it names each workflow and describes it well. It never ranks the workflows or picks one to build first; Deconstruct opens with that choice. It ends with a backlog and an opportunity report.

Workflow

Entry, before the opening

Follow references/routing.md's "The order at every entry", before anything is read, saved or said, using the framework-state script where code can run (the plugin's copy, as the other steps use, never the workspace's tools/ copy, which can be out of date: node [plugin root]/tools/framework-state.js <workflow folder>, or with --continue <framework folder> for "continue my workflow"; the plugin root is two folders above this skill's folder; on a non-zero exit, or where code can't run, apply routing.md by hand). Never mention the script. Analyze skips the wrong-place check: it writes nothing a workflow reads at runtime. Started by name, Analyze is always the owner.

Platform registry: platform facts (how a folder is selected on Claude desktop: the claude entry's capabilities.desktop_add_folder; which drives a connection can write to) come from registries/platform-registry.json at the plugin root, or else https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jamesgray-ai/handsonai/main/plugins/handsonai/registries/platform-registry.json, read once per session.

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.
