plants

A simple system for keeping records about houseplants, including when they were watered, their condition, and their care needs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list plant status, record watering, add new plants, and check watering schedules, light needs, and other care details.
Why use it?
It makes it easier to notice plants that are overdue for watering or may need different care.

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

plants 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 2d 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.

Plants

Keep your houseplants alive. Track watering, status, and care needs in one place.

Trigger Phrases

  • "water plants"
  • "plant update"
  • "plant check"
  • "how are my plants"
  • "new plant: [name]"

Workflow

On "plant check" / "how are my plants"

Read the plant database and display a status table:

| Plant          | Status     | Last Watered | Water Needs | Light   |
|----------------|------------|--------------|-------------|---------|
| Pothos         | Thriving   | Mar 17       | Weekly      | Low     |
| Fiddle Leaf    | Struggling | Mar 10       | Biweekly    | Bright  |
| Snake Plant    | Healthy    | Mar 15       | Monthly     | Any     |

Flag any plants that are overdue for watering based on their schedule and last watered date.

On "water plants" / "watered [plant]"

Update the "Last Watered" date for the specified plant(s) to today.

  • If no specific plant named, ask: "Which plants did you water? Or all of them?"
  • If "all", update every plant
  • Confirm: Logged: Watered Pothos, Snake Plant (Mar 19)

On "new plant: [name]"

Add a new plant to the database. Ask for (or infer from the plant name):

  • Water needs: Weekly, Biweekly, Monthly
  • Light needs: Low, Medium, Bright, Any
  • Pet-friendly: Yes/No

Set initial status to "New" and last watered to today.

If the user provides just a name, look up common care requirements for that plant species and suggest defaults. Confirm before saving.

Added: "Monstera" — Bright light, weekly water, not pet-friendly. Status: New

On "plant update" / status change

Update a plant's status. Valid statuses:

  • Thriving — Growing well, new leaves
  • Healthy — Normal, no concerns
  • Struggling — Yellowing, drooping, pests
  • New — Recently acquired

Ask what changed if not specified. Update the record and confirm.

Storage

Using {{notes}}: Store as a database/table with columns: Name, Status, Water Needs, Light Needs, Last Watered, Next Repot, Pet-Friendly.

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.
