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

system-review 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.

System Review Skill

Trigger Conditions

Run when ANY occur:

  • Open GitHub issues drop below 5
  • An EPIC issue is closed (label: epic)
  • 7 days since last review
  • Manual request

Review Checklist

Phase 1: Registry Reconciliation

# Count techniques by status
grep -c "status: implemented" docs/research/registry/techniques.yaml
grep -c "status: planned" docs/research/registry/techniques.yaml

# Verify RESEARCH_INDEX.md matches actual counts
# Check integration_files exist for implemented techniques

Phase 2: Documentation Sync

  • ARCHITECTURE.md reflects current phase status
  • README.md lists current capabilities accurately
  • CHANGELOG.md has entries for shipped features
  • ALIGNMENT_ROADMAP.md phase status is current

Phase 3: Issue Health

gh issue list --state open --limit 50
  • No orphaned issues (referenced but not in GitHub)
  • No stale issues (no activity > 30 days without wontfix label)
  • Labels are accurate and consistent

Phase 4: Generate Report

Create GitHub issue titled "System Review: YYYY-MM-DD" with findings and action items.

TZ='America/New_York' date '+%Y-%m-%d'
gh issue create --title "System Review: $(TZ='America/New_York' date '+%Y-%m-%d')" \
  --label "maintenance" --body "## Findings\n\n[report here]"

Anti-rationalization — System review

Excuse Counter
"Skip the review, I just looked at this last week" A week is enough for new alerts, dep advisories, and CI flakes. Run all phases.
"No new issues, the review is wasted time" The review's value isn't in finding new issues — it's in confirming the system isn't drifting silently. Empty reviews are good signal.
"I'll skip Phase X, it's never useful" If a phase is never useful, file an issue to remove it. Don't silently skip — the next reviewer will skip a different phase.

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.
