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

period-next-plan 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Set up the goal and plan for the target period.

Context

Offset controls direction: proactive (positive or default — planning upcoming periods) or retroactive (negative — backfilling a past period's plan). Use actual period dates from entries below — do NOT assume "next" or "current."

Target period with parent and siblings (created if missing): !G=$0; O=$1; binder read $(bun scripts/journal.ts ${G:-w} ${O:-next} --key) -f "key,goal,plan,parent(key,goal,plan,children(key,goal,plan,achievements,summary,totalScore))" --format yaml Previous period: !G=$0; O=$1; P=$([ "$O" = "next" ] || [ -z "$O" ] && echo 0 || echo $(( O - 1 ))); binder read $(bun scripts/journal.ts ${G:-w} $P --key) -f "goal,plan,achievements,events,summary,totalScore" --format yaml

Deliver one message

1. Parent context

Show the parent period's goal and plan in 3-5 lines. Frame it as: "Here's what [quarter/month/year] is about."

2. Sibling review & carry-forwards

Review the sibling periods (parent's children). For each completed sibling, briefly note what was achieved. For the most recent sibling:

  • Diff plan vs achievements — list items that were planned but NOT achieved.
  • Flag zombie items — anything planned in 2+ consecutive siblings but never achieved:

    "This has been on the plan since [period]. Carry with commitment, or kill it."

  • For each unfinished item, recommend: carry forward, defer to parent backlog, or drop.

3. Proposed goal

Suggest a goal for the new period, derived from:

  • Parent period's goal and plan (what's the next logical chunk?)
  • Unfinished items worth carrying from the sibling review
  • Any obvious next steps

The goal should be 1-3 lines. Concrete, not aspirational fluff.

"Does this goal feel right, or would you adjust it?"

4. Proposed plan

Suggest a plan — concrete items that serve the goal:

  • Week: max 6 items
  • Month: max 5 items (broader strokes)
  • Quarter: max 4 items (one per month roughly)
  • Year: max 3-4 themes
