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

checkpoint 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 2mo 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.

Checkpoint Workflow

Execute this workflow when user invokes /focus:checkpoint.

Step 1: Choose Processing Mode

Ask user which mode to use:

Mode Description
Silent Process all old sessions automatically
Interactive Process only the oldest session, then pause
Oldest Alias for Interactive

Step 2: Run Checkpoint Script

python "{{FOCUS_PLUGIN_ROOT}}/scripts/checkpoint_session.py" --mode=<mode> [--dry-run]

Options:

  • --mode=silent - Process all old sessions
  • --mode=interactive - Process only oldest session
  • --mode=oldest - Same as interactive
  • --dry-run - Show what would be done without modifying files

What the script does:

  1. Processes sessions from old to new (skips current session)
  2. Error detection → writes to pending_issues.md
  3. Omission detection → calls Haiku API to find unrecorded information
  4. Removes processed session records from operations.jsonl

Step 3: Handle Omission Detection Results

The script outputs omission detection results like:

### Session abc12345...
[Issue] Some bug that wasn't recorded
[Decision] A decision that was made but not documented
[Finding] An insight that was discovered

For each item:

  1. [Issue] → Add to the appropriate section in focus_context.md
  2. [Decision] → Add to the appropriate section in focus_context.md
  3. [Finding] → Add to the appropriate section in focus_context.md
  4. NONE or ERROR → No action needed

Step 4: Review Pending Issues

If pending_issues.md has items:

  1. Read .claude/tmp/focus/pending_issues.md
  2. For each issue, decide:
    • Archive: If it reveals a pattern → use /focus:done when session completes
    • Discard: If it's a user rejection or transient error

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.
