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

gza-explore-summarize 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 9d 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.

Gza Explore Summarize

Summarize a completed explore task and turn its output into concrete next-step guidance. Use this when an explore task produced useful markdown or notes, but the user wants a faster handoff into planning, implementation, or a narrower follow-up exploration.

Inputs

  • Required: full prefixed explore task ID (for example, gza-1234)
  • Optional: context about what decision the user is trying to make next

If the user did not provide a full prefixed task ID, ask for it before proceeding.

Use the full prefixed task ID for all gza commands.

Goal

Produce a concise operator-facing synthesis:

  • what the explore task found
  • what matters most
  • what remains uncertain
  • what the best next steps are

This skill is not a raw inspection dump. Prefer synthesis and recommended actions over repeating the whole report.

Process

Step 1: Inspect the task

Run:

uv run gza show <TASK_ID>
uv run gza log <TASK_ID>

Use the output to verify:

  • task exists
  • task type is explore
  • current status
  • report or output content
  • any execution/log context that changes how confident the findings are

If the task is not found or is not an explore task, stop and explain the mismatch.

Step 2: Read the exploration output

Use the report content from gza show or the report file it references.

Extract:

  • main findings
  • evidence or examples that support those findings
  • recommendations already present in the report
  • unresolved unknowns, risks, or missing context

If the output is thin, ambiguous, or clearly incomplete, use AskUserQuestion to clarify what decision the user is trying to make from this research.

Step 3: Synthesize what matters

Summarize the exploration in a compact, decision-oriented way.

Focus on:

  • 3 to 7 findings at most
  • the implications of those findings
  • any disagreements, tradeoffs, or uncertainty that still affect the next step

Do not simply restate the report section by section.

Step 4: Recommend next actions

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.
