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

session-handoff-composer 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 — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Session Handoff Composer

This skill composes a structured handoff document for transferring context into a new chat session. It extracts key information from the current conversation — decisions made, ongoing tasks, open questions, files involved, and next steps — and formats everything into a ready-to-paste markdown block.

Input: Current conversation context (read automatically); optional additions from the user

Output: Structured markdown handoff block + one-line opener for the new session


Language Detection

Detect the user's language from their message:

  • If Russian (or contains Cyrillic): respond in Russian
  • If English (or other Latin-script language): respond in English
  • If ambiguous: respond in the language of the trigger phrase used

Instructions

Step 1: Check Session Content

  1. Assess whether the current session has meaningful content to hand off

    • If user invoked the skill at the very start with no prior content: respond "Nothing to hand off yet — session has just started. Call this skill when context fills up."
    • If session has fewer than 5 exchanges AND no decisions or tasks were established: respond "Session is short — nothing significant to hand off yet. Call this skill when context fills up."
    • If session has content but is short (< 5 exchanges), proceed to Step 2 and output minimal handoff in Step 4
  2. Detect session language

    • If the conversation is primarily in Russian: produce the handoff document in Russian
    • Otherwise: produce the handoff document in English

Step 2: Extract Session Elements

Scan the conversation and collect the following:

  1. Done — completed tasks and final decisions made in this session

    • Include decisions that were confirmed, files that were created/edited, analyses completed
  2. In Progress — tasks started but not finished

    • Note the current state of each (e.g., "draft created, needs review")
  3. Open Questions — unresolved issues, pending decisions, blockers

    • Include anything that requires follow-up in the next session

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.
