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

project-index 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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

project-index

Kite's project registry — a structured JSON index of all active projects. Always know what's running, what state it's in, and what comes next.

Data file

${PROJECT_INDEX_HOME:-$HOME/projects/project-index}/../index.json (default: ~/projects/index.json) — shared across all projects, one source of truth.

CLI location

${PROJECT_INDEX_HOME:-$HOME/projects/project-index}/index.cjs

Alias: alias pj="node ${PROJECT_INDEX_HOME:-$HOME/projects/project-index}/index.cjs"

When to use

Use this skill whenever the user (or Kite internally) asks about:

  • "what are you working on?"
  • "show project status"
  • "what's the status of X?"
  • "update the project index"
  • "mark X as done"
  • "what's next for Y?"

Commands

# List all projects
node ${PROJECT_INDEX_HOME:-$HOME/projects/project-index}/index.cjs list

# Filter by status
node ${PROJECT_INDEX_HOME:-$HOME/projects/project-index}/index.cjs list --status active

# Show full detail
node ${PROJECT_INDEX_HOME:-$HOME/projects/project-index}/index.cjs show web-monitor

# Add a new project
node ${PROJECT_INDEX_HOME:-$HOME/projects/project-index}/index.cjs add \
  --id my-tool \
  --name "My Tool" \
  --path ~/projects/<your-tool> \
  --github JansenAnalytics/my-tool \
  --desc "Does something cool" \
  --tags monitoring,cron \
  --cron "*/15 * * * *"

# Update a project
node ${PROJECT_INDEX_HOME:-$HOME/projects/project-index}/index.cjs update web-monitor \
  --status active \
  --last-action "Fixed regex check" \
  --next "Add Slack notification"

# Append a note (timestamped)
node ${PROJECT_INDEX_HOME:-$HOME/projects/project-index}/index.cjs note web-monitor "Added BTC price check"

# Mark done / archive
node ${PROJECT_INDEX_HOME:-$HOME/projects/project-index}/index.cjs done stock-watcher
node ${PROJECT_INDEX_HOME:-$HOME/projects/project-index}/index.cjs archive stock-watcher

Kite behaviour

When the user asks about project status, Kite should:

  1. Run list and present a clean summary
  2. On show <id>, present all fields
  3. After completing any task that modifies a project, run update or note to record it
  4. When starting a new project, run add immediately

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.
