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-briefing 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 8d 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.

Project Briefing

Overview

Produce a rich Markdown executive briefing of the last 24 hours of commits touching the current working directory (or a specified directory). Group changes by workstream, not by individual commit.

Workflow

1) Fetch latest from remote

git fetch origin

Determine the default branch (origin/main or origin/master).

2) Gather commits

git log --since="24 hours ago" --format='%H %an <%ae> %s' origin/<default-branch>

For each commit, also get the stat and body:

git show --stat --format='%an%n%s%n%b' <hash>

Only include commits that touch files within the current working directory (or specified directory scope).

3) Enrich with PR data

Use gh to fetch PR information when available:

gh pr list --state merged --search "merged:>=$(date -v-24H +%Y-%m-%d)" --json number,title,body,url,author,reviews,comments

Include PR links inline as [#123](url) without a "PRs:" label. Pull in review comments if they add useful context.

4) Group by workstream

Analyze the commits and PRs to identify logical workstreams (e.g., "Rendering Engine Refactor," "New Tower Implementation," "UI Polish"). Group related changes together even if they span multiple commits or PRs.

5) Format the briefing

Use this structure:

Here's the last 24h brief for <directory>:

*Narrative walkthrough with owners; grouped by workstream.*

---

# <Workstream Title>

<Short narrative explaining the changes in plain language.>

- **Author Name** did X, Y, Z [#PR](url)
- **Author Name** followed up with A, B [#PR](url)

---

# <Next Workstream Title>

...

Formatting rules:

  • H1 for workstream sections
  • Italics for the subtitle
  • Horizontal rules between sections
  • Bold author names in bullet points
  • PR links inline
  • No commit hashes
  • No "Key commits" section
  • No per-commit bullet lists (group by workstream narrative)
  • Bullets and bolding for readability

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.
