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

knowledge-record 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 3 executable files (scripts/closeout_core.py, scripts/record_check.py, scripts/steering_guard.py), 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.

Knowledge Record

Purpose

Produce the terminal draft: a practice-review-ready knowledge record with reusable assets, lessons learned, sanitisation report and downstream handoff fields populated from the governed contract payload.

When to use

After sanitize-check completes and governed.json is available.

When NOT to Use

  • Raw closeout sources need loading - use artifact-assemble.
  • The user asks what is reusable or whether the package is complete - use asset-identify.
  • The user asks for "lessons learned" clustering - use lesson-cluster.
  • Govern has not run or the user asks to clear a HOLD - use sanitize-check.
  • The user asks to publish, send or upload the result - return a draft for human action instead.

Inputs

governed.json from sanitize-check, including released_assets[], held_assets[], lesson_clusters[], lessons_for_draft[], sanitisation_report and knowledge_record seed.

Steps

  1. If governed.json has no sanitisation_report, stop and run sanitize-check first.
  2. Run scripts/record_check.py --input governed.json --skeleton-out knowledge-record-skeleton.md. It re-derives the governed payload, refuses an edited one and writes the deterministic skeleton.
  3. Copy the skeleton to knowledge-record-draft.md and replace only each <<CONTEXT: ...>> and <<LESSON ...>> slot with one line of generalized, role- and process-level prose that follows knowledge_record.engagement_context_guidance or that lesson's knowledge_record.lessons[].drafting_guidance. Keep every other line exactly as written.
  4. Run scripts/record_check.py --input governed.json --draft knowledge-record-draft.md. If it exits non-zero, rewrite only the slot it names and run it again; if it still fails, stop and show the error.
  5. Present the accepted draft and the line Nothing has been published or approved.

Tools

Use the shell tool for scripts/record_check.py and the file-read tool for governed.json and the skeleton. Never call email, Teams, SharePoint-write, publishing or credential-creation actions.

What ships with it

7 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.
