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

ops-ar scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/ops:ops-ar — A&R Command

Load ops-rules before acting. Public repo (no personal data). Outbound: one draft → one approval → one send. If AskUserQuestion / Workflow are missing, follow Rule 10 in ops-rules (Hermes: numbered options / two-turn Telegram card; delegate_task).

A&R the given record(s) like a pop/dance-hit label owner + master producer. The deliverable is always the full A&R card per track:

VERDICT (hit/10 + sign / develop / pass) → WHAT'S WORKING → WHAT'S HOLDING IT BACK → THE PLAN (producer moves) → REFERENCE & POSITIONING → NEXT.

Configuration (templatable — no hardcoded personal data)

Setting Source Default
Audio analysis stack home $AUDIO_AR_HOME env or ar.stack_home in $PREFS_PATH ~/audio-ai
Python venv $AUDIO_AR_HOME/venv/bin/python
Music.ai workflow slug $MUSICAI_WORKFLOW env or Doppler (required for Music.ai)
Cyanite / Music.ai / Soundcharts keys env / Doppler / ~/.mcp-secrets.env
A&R taste profile (label lane, reference acts, tempo sweet spot) ar.profile in $PREFS_PATH dance-pop / feel-good house

The skill must read these at runtime — never hardcode user names, mailboxes, label names, or absolute /Users/... paths.

Taste profile injection (mandatory when ar.profile exists)

Before spawning any ar-producer agent, read the profile once:

PREFS="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/data/ops-ops-marketplace}/preferences.json"
jq '.ar.profile // empty' "$PREFS"

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.
