In plain words

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

startup-context 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 1mo 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.

Origin

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 104 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Startup Context

This is the foundation skill. Every other skill reads this context first to produce tailored, specific output instead of generic advice.

When to Use

  • First time a user runs any skill and no context file exists
  • When the user says "let me tell you about my startup" or similar
  • When any skill detects missing context and needs to gather it

Workflow

  1. Check for existing context — look for .agents/startup-context.md in the project root
  2. If missing, interview the founder — ask the questions below, one section at a time
  3. Generate the context file — write structured markdown to .agents/startup-context.md
  4. Keep it updated — when the user shares new info that changes context, update the file
