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

checkin 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Midday Check-in

Trigger Phrases

  • "checkin"
  • "midday checkin"
  • "midday check-in"
  • "afternoon checkin"
  • "how's my day going"

Workflow

Step 1: Read Today's Daily Page

Fetch today's daily page from {{notes}}.

  • If no daily page exists, tell the user and offer to run morning-kickoff first.
  • Extract the Focus Areas section (the morning plan).
  • Read any Working Notes added during the morning.

Step 2: Assess Progress on Focus Areas

For each item in the morning Focus Areas, determine status:

  • Done: Completed since the morning.
  • In Progress: Actively being worked on.
  • Not Started: Hasn't been touched yet.

Present as a checklist so the user can quickly confirm or correct.

Step 3: Detect Pivots

Compare the morning plan to the Working Notes content and ask the user what they've actually been doing.

If work doesn't align with morning priorities, flag it neutrally:

"Looks like you spent the morning on [X] instead of [planned item]. Intentional pivot or got pulled in?"

Pivots aren't bad — they just need to be acknowledged so the afternoon can be re-planned.

Step 4: Show Remaining Schedule

Query {{calendar}} for events in the remainder of today.

  • List upcoming meetings with times.
  • Calculate remaining deep work hours: time left in the workday minus remaining meeting time.

If {{calendar}} is not configured, ask the user how many meetings they have left.

Step 5: Collect Reflection

Ask the user for a brief midday reflection. Prompt with one of these:

  • "How's your energy? Anything you want to adjust for the afternoon?"
  • "What's the one thing you want to make sure gets done before EOD?"
  • "Anything blocking you right now?"

Keep it lightweight — one or two sentences is fine.

Step 6: Update the Daily Page

Add a timestamped midday note to the Working Notes section of today's page in {{notes}}.

Format:

### Midday Check-in ([time])
**Progress:**
- [x] [Focus item 1] — done
- [ ] [Focus item 2] — in progress
- [ ] [Focus item 3] — not started

**Pivot:** [description, if any]

**Afternoon plan:** [adjusted priorities based on remaining time]

**Note:** [user's reflection]

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.
