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

se-lifecycle 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 — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Systems Engineering Lifecycle (ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288)

Use this when: you're starting a new system, taking over an existing one and don't know where it is in its lifecycle, or you're auditing whether the work covers all 11 Technical processes 15288 expects.

For the full reference, see docs/se-15288.md. This skill is the routing entry point — it answers "given where I am, what tool should I use?"

The other 19 processes (Agreement, Organizational Project-Enabling, Technical Management) are handled by the org and tooling, not by individual engineers — they're outside the scope of "which skill do I run now?"


How to invoke

If you want a guided walkthrough

Invoke the master-se-systems-engineer agent. It will:

  1. Ask which phase you're currently in
  2. Run the right Powerhouse tool for that phase
  3. Capture the 15288-expected artifact
  4. Gate the next phase on the verification/validation evidence the standard requires

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.
