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

tickets-health 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 9d 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.

Issue Health Validation

When to Run

.claude/scripts/dso validate-issues.sh          # Standard check
.claude/scripts/dso validate-issues.sh --verbose # Detailed output

Run after:

  • Creating one or more new tasks
  • Setting up dependencies between tasks
  • Re-parenting tasks under epics
  • When batch-creating tasks, run once after all tasks and initial relationships are created

Score Interpretation

Score Meaning Action Required
5 Excellent None - proceed with work
4 Good Minor issues - fix if convenient
3 Fair Must fix before continuing
2 Poor Stop and fix - significant issues
1 Critical Immediate action - blocking issues

If Score < 5

  1. Review the issues reported by the script
  2. Ask the user for clarification before making significant changes to task descriptions, epic assignments, or dependency structures
  3. Prefer clarification over assumptions when:
    • Task belongs to multiple possible epics
    • Dependency direction is ambiguous
    • Task description conflicts with epic goals
  4. After fixing issues, re-run .claude/scripts/dso validate-issues.sh to confirm score improves

Common Issues and Fixes

Orphaned Prefixed Task

Task has prefix (MC-, V-, A-, I-, L-, RR-) but no parent epic.

# Find the appropriate epic
.claude/scripts/dso ticket list --type=epic

# Assign parent (use add-note to record the epic association)
.claude/scripts/dso ticket comment <task-id> "Parent epic: <epic-id>"

Task Listed as Dependency Instead of Child

Epic depends on task, but task should be a child of epic.

# Remove incorrect dependency (.claude/scripts/dso ticket unlink <id1> <id2> to remove a link; note to user)
# Use .claude/scripts/dso ticket comment to record the correct parent association
.claude/scripts/dso ticket comment <task-id> "Parent epic: <epic-id> (was incorrectly set as dep)"

Empty Epic

Epic has no children or all children are closed.

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.
