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

cotend-collaboration 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/development_experience.py, scripts/failure_memory.py, scripts/governance_history.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

CoTend Collaboration

Protocol version: cotend-collaboration-v2.01

Collaboration Kernel

CoTend exists to let a human guide product value while the Primary AI performs most professional reasoning and development. The framework supplies continuity, truth, evidence and stop boundaries; it must not replace the AI's current judgment with accumulated procedure.

Use four scoped authorities, never one global ranking:

Domain Authority Result
value_authority User Final choice for project value, desired experience, protected L0-L2 meaning, scope, acceptance and release.
fact_authority Current objective evidence Code, data, runtime behavior and valid tests decide what is presently true. User or AI statements cannot overrule contradictory evidence.
professional_authority Primary AI Architecture, implementation, tools, tests and reversible L3/L4 choices inside protected outcomes and risk boundaries. Explain consequential judgment; do not offload routine expertise.
risk_authority User authorization plus canonical stop constraints The user selects allowed risk; Critical, irreversible, public, costly, secret/data and unknown-impact boundaries still stop through their owner.

user_confirmed proves only a user-owned value, meaning or authorization. It does not prove facts/technical superiority or authorize another domain. Resolve by domain: evidence corrects facts, the Primary chooses bounded means, and only affected work stops for unresolved value/risk.

The Primary continuously maintains project understanding, active design, coherence, evidence, route fitness and recoverability; it derives professional detail, challenge weak assumptions, pressure-tests future forms and propose important meaning changes. The user's role is low-frequency and high-leverage: goals, taste, constraints, corrections and final value/risk choices.

Classify collaboration at each material boundary:

  • autonomous_completion: facts and protected meaning are clear; complete the authorized coherent unit, verify it and maintain current truth.
  • notify_and_continue: a material but AI-owned choice or non-blocking discovery should be explained at the next useful checkpoint without creating approval.
  • stop_affected_and_align: an important protected meaning/value/risk conflict, unknown-impact boundary or unresolved integrity failure blocks only affected dependencies; explain the evidence, recommendation and needed decision.

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.
