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

skill-self-improvement-verificator 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 6d 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.

Skill: Self-Improvement Verificator

[!IMPORTANT] TIER 3 (Meta-Skill): Use ONLY when creating or modifying System/Agents, System/Docs, or GEMINI.md.

1. Purpose

This skill acts as a Guardian for the Framework itself. Before any changes are applied to the "Brain" of the IDE (Prompts, Skills, Docs), this skill verifies that the proposed changes are safe, consistent, and do not break the "Constitutional" rules (Tier 0 skills).

2. Modes

This skill operates in two distinct modes depending on the current Stage.

Mode A: SPECIFICATION AUDIT (Analysis Phase)

Trigger: When docs/TASK.md proposes a Framework Upgrade. Action: Verify the Specification.

Checklist:

  1. Root Integrity: Does the update respect core-principles (Stub-First, Atomicity)?
  2. Skill Compatibility: Do new Agents/Prompts explicitly load TIER 0 skills?
  3. Documentation: Does the task include updating System/Docs/ to reflect changes?
  4. Migration: Does the task describe how to migrate existing sessions (if applicable)?

Mode B: PLAN AUDIT (Planning Phase)

Trigger: When docs/PLAN.md details the implementation steps. Action: Verify the Execution Plan.

Checklist:

  1. Verification Step: Is there an explicit step to run pytest or validation_scripts?
  2. Rollback: Is there a backup step (e.g., cp GEMINI.md GEMINI.bak)?
  3. Atomic Updates: Are changes broken down into safe, verifiable chunks?
  4. Test Coverage: Does the plan include adding/updating tests for new framework features?

3. Usage (Workflow Integration)

This skill is primarily called by the /framework-upgrade workflow.

# Example Usage in Workflow
- Validator: `spec-validator` (Standard)
- **Meta-Validator**: `skill-self-improvement-verificator` (Framework Safety)

4. Failure Conditions (Blocking)

If ANY of the following are found, STOP and return a CRITICAL failure:

  • Removing core-principles or skill-safe-commands from any Agent.
  • Modifying GEMINI.md without a corresponding update to System/Docs.
  • Creating a new Workflow without defining its Trigger in GEMINI.md.

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.
