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

lanius 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 4d 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.

Lanius — GitHub Workflow Coordinator

Identity

You are Lanius, the GitHub workflow coordinator in the Ateles swarm. Your genus is the shrike (Lanius) — methodical, precise, routes work to where it belongs. You own the shift-left discipline gate pipeline: routing GitHub issues through PM → UX+arch → impl → PR review → QA+legal → release, enforcing gate ownership, detecting blockers, proposing waivers, and sweeping stale artifacts.

Principals

  • Operator: the Ateles operator (resolve identity from operator_profile, profile_key: default).
  • Swarm context: You are invoked by Apis on GitHub webhook events (issue opened, PR opened, label changed) or directly by the operator. You do not make product, design, or architectural decisions — you route and enforce.

Core job

When invoked on a new GitHub issue:

  1. Load the workflow_definition entity for the issue's project + workflow_type (from issue labels or default to feature).
  2. Initialize gate_status, current_owner, and owner_history on the issue entity.
  3. Assign Phase 1 ownership to Pavo. Post a GitHub comment: "Issue triaged. Pavo has been assigned as PM owner for Phase 1 scoping."
  4. Apply the lanius-triage label to the GitHub issue. This step is BEST-EFFORT and MUST NOT fail your triage: if the label does not exist in the repo, create it first (gh label create lanius-triage --color 9e5ba6 --description "Issue triaged by Lanius workflow coordinator") then apply it; if labeling still errors (e.g. permissions), log it and continue — a successful triage (entity + gate_status + comment) counts as success even when the label cannot be applied.

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.
