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

delegation-brief 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 9d 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 — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill: delegation-brief

Asks the user up to 5 targeted questions and generates a structured task brief — a ready-to-use instruction for a new Cowork session. Solves the problem of vague requests that lead to unexpected results, damaged files, and wasted tokens.

Target audience: new Cowork users, non-technical professionals.


Triggers

Russian: «бриф», «составь бриф», «помоги делегировать», «структурируй задачу», «создай бриф», «напиши бриф», «хочу делегировать», «как правильно описать задачу», «помоги сформулировать задачу» English: "brief", "delegation brief", "task brief", "help me delegate", "structure my task", "create a brief", "write a brief", "how to describe a task to Claude"


Language Detection

Determine the language of the user's request:

  • If the request is in Russian → respond in Russian
  • Otherwise → respond in English

Input

Trigger phrase — no prior input required. All data is collected through the dialogue in Steps 1–2.

Output

Structured text brief in chat with five sections:

  1. Task
  2. Expected result
  3. Files to modify
  4. Off-limits
  5. Success criteria

Instructions

Step 0 — Extract context from the trigger

Before launching AskUserQuestion, check: does the user's message already contain answers to one or more of the 5 questions?

Action:

  • If yes — extract that data internally and skip the corresponding questions in AskUserQuestion
  • If no, or if input is minimal (one or two words) — do not ask for clarification; proceed directly to Step 1 with the full set of questions

Examples:

  • "Collect files from /reports and create a summary document" → Q1 and Q2 are known, Q3 is partially known; ask only the remaining questions
  • "Brief" / "Create a brief" → nothing is known; ask all 5 questions without requesting clarification

Step 1 — Collect data: questions 1–4

Use AskUserQuestion to ask the unknown questions from Q1–Q4 simultaneously (after Step 0). Combining questions into one call reduces friction — the user responds at once without waiting for follow-ups.

Files

What ships with it

4 files 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.
