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

hacknplan 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.

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.

HacknPlan project management

This skill drives the @mtuska/hacknplan-mcp server. Its tools wrap the HacknPlan API v0. Prefer these tools over guessing; HacknPlan is id-driven, so resolve names to ids first.

Orientation (do this before acting)

  1. hacknplan_whoami — confirm the API key works (run once if unsure).
  2. list_projects — get project ids.
  3. get_project — one call that rolls up a project's stages, categories, importance levels, and boards. You almost always need this before creating or moving work items, because creates require ids from it.

Resolving names → ids

The user will say "move the Login bug to Done", not give ids. Resolve first:

  • find_work_items(project_id, query, …) — free-text + facet search; the fastest way to turn a remembered title into a workItemId. Use its result's id with update_work_item / get_work_item / etc.
  • For stages/categories/importance/tags, read them from get_project (or the list_* tools) and match by name to get the id.

Common workflows

  • Create a task or storycreate_work_item. Requires title + importance_level_id; tasks also need category_id. New items land in the first stage — pass stage_id to place them elsewhere. Use parent_id to nest a task under a user story.
  • Break a feature downplan_feature creates a user story plus its child tasks (and optional per-task checklists) in one call. Prefer it over many create_work_item calls.
  • Move / edit a work itemupdate_work_item. It can re-stage, retitle, re-prioritize (importance_level_id), recategorize, re-estimate (estimated_cost), set due/start dates, block/unblock, retag, reassign (assigned_user_ids replaces the whole set), and move board/milestone. Send only the fields you're changing.
  • Checklistsadd_subtask / list_subtasks / update_subtask (set is_completed).
  • Comments, tags, assignmentadd_comment, attach_tag/detach_tag, assign_user/unassign_user.
  • Dependenciesadd_dependency (successor blocked by predecessor), list_dependencies, remove_dependency.
  • Time trackinglog_work, list_work_logs.

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.
