Use it to rank VIP messages, review their full threads, suggest additions to the list, and manage VIP metadata.
Why use it?
It prevents important senders from being buried in general inbox work and requires the surrounding conversation and account context before drafting a response.

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

vip 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 — 146 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/ops:vip — VIP List

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).

The priority layer over every inbox. VIPs are checked FIRST in any sweep, answered first, drafted with extra care, and never buried in a bulk digest.

Scope (deliberately narrow)

This skill does four things and nothing else:

  1. Enforce the list — VIP senders rank ahead of everything else in every sweep.
  2. Require FULL context before answering or drafting for a VIP: the whole thread, every account on that channel, both directions, plus the ledger brief.
  3. Order triage output by tier.
  4. Suggest additions when the signals below appear.

It does not read histories for their own sake, does not draft unasked, and does not open a second channel just because one record is open. A tier edit is metadata only. Tagging someone is never an instruction to sweep their history.

Configuration

Nothing here is machine-specific. Every value resolves from userConfig, an env var, or $HOME.

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.
