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

harness-help 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 10d 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 — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/harness-help

You don't remember every skill, so ask. Most work travels one main flow; everything else is standalone. Each skill below is documented in its own skills/<name>/SKILL.md (core) or extras/skills/<name>/SKILL.md — this router only says when to reach for which.

The main flow: idea → shipped

  1. /spec <slug> — turn a fuzzy request into spec.md + plan.md under .agent/plans/<slug>/, then route to plan approval (ExitPlanMode). Add --interview when the request is fuzzy enough that a wrong guess would commit the spec to the wrong shape, or --score-candidates when the field of problems/approaches is wide enough that the pick should be scored, not asserted. Approval is what unlocks editing — spec-gate stops asking once the plan-approval flag exists.
  2. /supervise <slug> — run the approved plan wave by wave, dispatching specialists per the delegation contract and auditing after each wave. --goal-mode for budgeted, resumable runs.
  3. /verify-completion <claim> — before accepting any "done": a fresh context re-checks the claim mechanically, then a refute-by-default judge. /supervise calls this at its completion step; reach for it directly whenever a builder's word is the only evidence.
  4. /wrap — commit + PR with the safety gates (gitleaks, risk areas) intact. --auto-push / --auto-merge are opt-in escalations.

A single small edit needs none of this — just make the edit; the gates scope trivial work out by design.

Standalone

  • /council-review [--staged|--head|<range>] — multi-vendor second opinion on a diff (Claude reviewer plus codex/gemini lanes), synthesized with citation checks.
  • /project-init (command) — scaffold a consumer project with CLAUDE.md, rules, and gitleaks.toml.
  • Security — diff-level security review is the security-reviewer agent (auto-dispatched on risk paths); a whole-repository or branch vulnerability scan is the official /claude-security plugin when installed (/plugin install claude-security@claude-plugins-official).

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.
