A project-workflow menu that routes commands for setting up a repository, managing staging, updating the setup, opening a PRD board, or diagnosing the development harness.

Use it to bootstrap a new project, add a staging branch, resync project setup, open the PRD kanban board, or inspect failure records.

It gives one entry point for common project setup, planning-board, release-flow, and troubleshooting tasks.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00162	$0.01638
Opus 5	$0.00081	$0.00819
Sonnet 5	$0.00032	$0.00328
Haiku 4.5	$0.00016	$0.00164

Security

Grade A, and why

msg 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (refs/gui/fill-static.py, refs/gui/server.py, refs/init/init-setup.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

msg

This file is a router. Every mode's protocol lives in a ref — none is written here. The Dispatch table below is the single statement of msg's mode surface — do not restate it elsewhere in this file.

Dispatch

Check the invocation before running any picker. First match wins.

Invocation	Also triggers on (natural language)	Route
`/msg --init` (+ `--cto` / `--eng`)	"initialise project", "bootstrap repo", "set up the framework", "start a new project"	`refs/protocol-init.md`
`/msg --init-staging`	"add a staging branch", "set up staging", "switch to a staged release flow"	`refs/protocol-init-staging.md`
`/msg --update`	"check for msg updates", "reinitialise this project", "resync my init setup", "are there new init components"	`refs/protocol-update.md`
`/msg --gui`, or the bare word `gui`	"open gui for PRDs", "show me the PRD board", "visualize my PRDs", "open kanban"	`refs/protocol-gui.md` — render directly, never call `AskUserQuestion` first
`/msg --doctor`	"check the harness", "what keeps failing", "run the doctor", "triage the incident log"	`refs/protocol-doctor.md` — tallies and triages `devkit/DOCTOR.md`; never fixes
`/msg --aha`	"prune the learnings", "sweep AHA", "trim the aha log", "triage the learnings ledger"	`refs/protocol-aha.md` — triages and compacts `devkit/AHA.md`; only write is the ledger itself, promotions stay recommendations
`/msg --version`, or the bare word `version`	"which msg is this", "what version of msg do I have", "did the reinstall land", "is msg up to date"	`refs/protocol-version.md`
`/msg --help`	—	`refs/protocol-help.md`

Changes

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.
