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

context-builder-cowork 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 11d 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 — 184 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Context Builder Cowork

Generates a ready-to-use project-context.md for Claude Cowork based on user answers through a structured interview. Supports two modes: full interview (15 questions across 9 blocks) and quick mode (first 3 blocks only, rest filled with placeholders).

For: anyone who works with Claude Cowork and needs a structured project context file for a new or existing project.

Language Detection

Detect the language of the user's first message — use it throughout the entire session: all interview questions, the generated file content, and section headers. Russian input → conduct interview and generate file in Russian. English input → conduct interview and generate file in English.

Input

Required:

  • User's message requesting context creation (sets language and mode)

Optional:

  • Keyword "quick" / "быстрый" in the trigger → activates quick mode (blocks 1–3 only, rest → [to clarify] / [уточнить])

Output

A ready-to-download project-context.md file structured across up to 9 content blocks, with [to clarify] / [уточнить] placeholders for missing information and a changelog entry with creation date.

Instructions

Step 1 — Determine mode

If the user wrote "quick context" / "быстрый контекст" → use quick mode (questions 1–8, blocks 1–3 only). Otherwise → use new mode (all 15 questions, all 9 blocks).

Mode Trigger What it does
new "create project context" / "создай контекст проекта" Full interview, all blocks
quick "quick context" / "быстрый контекст" Blocks 1–3 only, rest → placeholders

Step 2 — Conduct the interview

Ask questions in blocks, not all at once. Wait for the user's response after each block, then proceed to the next.

Block 1 — Basics
1. Project name?
2. Type: business / analytics / personal / other?
3. Status: Active / On hold / Completed?
4. Start date? Deadline (if any)?
Block 2 — Project essence
5. Describe the project in 2–4 sentences.
6. Vision — what outcome counts as project success?

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.
