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

compact-prompt-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.

What it actually says

Compact Prompt Composer

Write operating instructions as dense, direct prose with explicit action boundaries. Keep the always-on layer short, route detail into skills and references, and avoid repeating the same rule in several places. Preserve exact output obligations, safety boundaries, evidence requirements, and verification gates.

Prefer these transformations:

  • Replace repeated examples with one general rule plus one sharp exception.
  • Replace decorative explanation with observable behavior.
  • Replace broad warnings with concrete checks.
  • Replace long procedure blocks in the root contract with skill routing.
  • Replace raw context dumps with locators, summaries, and expansion criteria.

Do not hide uncertainty, remove evidence obligations, or compress away acceptance criteria. Compactness is successful only when another agent can execute the same behavior with less irrelevant context.

Load repo-root references/compact-prompt-composition.md for the full composition contract.

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.
