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

ghm-status-sync 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 8d 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.

Status Sync

Synchronize the README.md Command Center with the current project state after gate advancement or EPIC status changes.

Workflow Overview

  1. Load Context → Read README.md, PRD.md metadata, Active EPIC Session State section
  2. Extract State → Pull lifecycle stage, blockers, metrics
  3. Update Dashboard → Sync README sections with current truth

Core Output Template

Element Definition Evidence
Lifecycle Stage Current PRD version from PRD.md Current Lifecycle Gate: v0.X
Gate Status Visual progress indicators 🟢 Complete / 🟡 In Progress / ⚪ Pending
Active EPIC Current work from EPIC header EPIC-XX: Title
Blockers Open blockers from EPIC Session State section List with severity

Step 1: Load Context

Read these files in order:

  1. README.md (current state)
  2. PRD.md (metadata block for lifecycle stage)
  3. Active EPIC Session State section (blockers, progress)

Checklist

  • README.md loaded
  • PRD.md metadata extracted
  • Active EPIC identified and Session State section read

Step 2: Extract Current State

Pull authoritative values:

Field Source
Lifecycle Stage PRD.md Current Lifecycle Gate
Gate Progress PRD.md gate table
Active EPIC README.md Active Work section
Blockers EPIC Session State section
Metrics README.md Truth Table

Step 3: Update README Dashboard

Apply synchronization rules:

  1. Lifecycle Stage: Update header to match PRD.md
  2. Gate Table:
    • 🟢 = Passed gates (all criteria met)
    • 🟡 = Current gate (in progress)
    • ⚪ = Future gates (not started)
  3. Active EPIC: Update metadata in Active Work section
  4. Blockers: Sync from EPIC Session State section
  5. Squad Status (Section: squad-status): Update agent and EPIC tables:
    • For each agent in .claude/agents/: check MEMORY.md mtime for "Last Active", grep EPICs for agent name for "Current EPIC"
    • For each EPIC in epics/: read State field, Epic Lead, and Change Log last date
    • Status values: active (session <2h old), idle (no recent activity), blocked (blocker in session state)

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
