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

triage-task 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 20d 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 — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

triage-task

All tracker access goes through one command. Never construct JQL, WIQL, URLs or field lists — the provider builds them from the resolved context.

wb <args>    # wb not on PATH: python <this skill's directory>/../../lib/wb.py <args>

Steps

  1. Key given? Go straight to step 2: start <KEY> resumes as well as starts. With no key, status lists every ticket with work in flight and the one command that moves each on.

  2. No key given — task list. Four columns, newest first. Show them and ask which one, unless the request already names one.

    No tracker in this repo? task new "title" --type bug|feature|chore|support records it in the local backlog and everything downstream works unchanged. Only local contexts accept it; wb says so if the repo has a real tracker.

  3. Pick it up — start <KEY>. Reads the ticket into .workflow/<KEY>/triage.json and prints its text, puts the checkout on the ticket's branch, and ends with the route and the one next command. Rerun it any time: it is a no-op that says where the ticket stands. To read without branching, or deeper, use task get <KEY> — depth 1 by default: the task, plus one line per linked item.

    • Use --depth 0 when the ticket is self-contained and links do not matter.
    • Use --depth 2 only when a blocker or a parent decides the approach. It fetches bodies for blocking and hierarchy links, never for relates.

    Light path (the route says so): no plan, no other skill, no status. Make the change and a test that covers it, then finish <KEY> -m "<type>: <summary>" --commit. It runs the suite, the regression check and the message check itself, so do not run them first; on a pass it commits exactly the checked files. If it says the work outgrew the path, continue with plan-change.

  4. Go deeper only where it pays — the _expand list names what exists but was not included. Pass a handle back verbatim: task get <KEY> --expand comments:all. Do not compose handles; anything not in _expand is rejected.

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.
