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

impact-analysis 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 10d 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 — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

impact-analysis

Answer one question: given what changed, what else must change? This is the developer half of the delivery flow. delivery-digest is the Product Owner half. Never mix the two in one file.

Read the change

git diff --stat <base>...HEAD
git status --short
git diff <base>

Ask the user for <base> when it is missing. A guessed base makes every number wrong. Never claim an impact that you did not confirm in the file. A grep hit is a lead, not a finding.

Seven axes

Walk all seven. Write None. for an empty axis. A silent axis reads as "not checked".

  1. Behavior: what a user or caller can now do, or can no longer do. A breaking change gets its own line.
  2. Contracts: routes, methods, status codes, payloads, DTOs, shared types, events, queue messages. Each consumer of a changed contract is an impact. See api-contract-sync.
  3. Data: schema, migrations, backfills, indexes, retention. Say if the migration is reversible.
  4. Configuration: env vars, flags, secrets, infrastructure values. An added variable lands on every surface: the validation schema, .env.example and the deployment config.
  5. Security and privacy: authn and authz, ownership checks on by-id paths, input validation, injection surface, sensitive logging, new dependencies.
  6. Operations: build, CI, deployment order, rollback path, and a signal for each new failure mode.
  7. Delivery documents: the table below.

Documents to check

For each document write up to date, stale with the change to make, or not affected.

Document Location Stale when
Specs {{OPENSPEC_DIR}} Behavior changed or a requirement is now built
Decisions {{ADR_DIR}} A choice was made or reversed and no ADR records it
API contracts {{OPENAPI_DIR}} and the request collection A route, payload, status code or auth rule moved
Data models {{DATA_MODELS_DIR}} A table, column, relation or enum changed
Diagrams {{DIAGRAMS_DIR}} A component or dependency appeared or vanished
Network flows {{FLOWS_FILE}} A new port, protocol, source or destination is needed
Designs {{DESIGNS_DIR}} Tokens, components or UI rules changed
Assignments {{DELIVERY_DIR}}/assignments.json Scope moved between profiles or a gate cleared
Module docs **/README.md, **/DESIGN.md A module's public API, files or configuration changed

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.
