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

stakeholder-update-writer 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.

Stakeholder Update Message

Write a concise, professional stakeholder update message for Slack or email.

Process

1. Gather context

Understand what the user wants to communicate. The source can be anything:

  • An epic or set of tickets from your ticket tracker or project management tool (fetch via your project tracker integration if available)
  • A conversation summary or decision outcome
  • A project milestone, blocker, or risk
  • A release status or go/no-go decision
  • Anything the user describes or provides

If the context is about tracked work (epic, sprint, tickets), fetch the relevant data to understand the full picture. If it's about a decision, event, or general update, work from what the user provides.

2. Understand the audience and purpose

Before drafting, identify:

  • Who is receiving this (team, management, cross-functional stakeholders, external partners)
  • What they need to know (status, decision, blocker, request for input, FYI)
  • What action is expected from them (none, approval, input, awareness)

If unclear, ask the user briefly before drafting.

3. Draft the message

Tone: Professional, direct, confident. Not corporate fluff. Written as a real person talking to colleagues.

Structure: Flowing text with minimal formatting. Use bold for section headers only when they add clarity. Avoid:

  • Bullet-point walls
  • Listing every ticket or task individually
  • Project management jargon (sprint velocity, story points, epics)
  • Over-explaining what's obvious

Content flow:

  1. One-line context - what this is about
  2. Background - what led to this update (kept brief, only what the reader needs)
  3. The substance - grouped by theme, not by ticket or task. Summarize what matters in plain language. Keep it to 3-4 groups max.
  4. Framing - set expectations on effort, timeline, or impact
  5. Dependencies or asks - who needs to do what
  6. Next steps - where to find details, when to expect the next update, offer to discuss

Key principles:

  • Lead with the conclusion, not the process
  • Group by business theme, not by task or ticket
  • Say what needs to happen, not what the task title says
  • Name people/teams who own dependencies
  • One link to a tracking board or document is enough - don't link every item
  • Keep it under 200 words if possible

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.
