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

morning-brief 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (morning-brief-view.test.sh, morning-brief.test.sh, scripts/build-brief-view.mjs, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Variables

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Purpose

The 30-60 minute operator morning pass begins with the same hand-run gh queries every day. This skill collapses them into a single 5-second picture for the current repo, so the pass starts from a complete view instead of ad-hoc lookups.

Read-only and gh-based. It runs only gh read queries and never mutates labels, comments, issues, or PRs. Its one local write is the stranded-findings bookmark under the plugin data dir. Owner/repo is derived from gh repo view, or from the checkout's origin remote when that call is unavailable (never hardcoded), so it is reusable across repos.

Run it

"${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/morning-brief.sh" --data-dir "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}" $ARGUMENTS

Print the script's output verbatim; do not re-query the sections by hand.

Pass the data dir on the command line: the script cannot read it from its environment under the Bash tool.

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.
