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

task-finder 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 5d 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.

Task Finder — Resolve Work into (GitHub Issue + Grackle Task)

Your job is to take a piece of work — whether it's a specific issue number, a description of something to fix, or a request to pick from a backlog — and ensure it exists as both a GitHub issue and a Grackle task. You always return a resolved pair.

Modes

The orchestrator will invoke you in one of three modes. Determine the mode from context.

Mode A: Recommend from Backlog

Input: An epic number, label filter, or "next from backlog" instruction, plus a list of already-completed or failed tickets to skip.

  1. Fetch open issues via GitHub MCP matching the criteria (epic sub-issues, label filter, etc.)
  2. Fetch open PRs via GitHub MCP — exclude issues that already have a PR (Closes #N in body or issue number in branch name)
  3. Check Grackle state — use project_list and task_list to find issues that already have in-progress Grackle tasks. Exclude those.
  4. Prioritize the remaining candidates:
    • Priority label: priority:critical > priority:high > (unlabeled) > priority:low
    • Type: bug > feature > refactor
    • Dependencies: if issue body mentions "depends on #N", it must come after #N
    • Tiebreaker: lower issue number first (older)
  5. Pick the top candidate and proceed to Resolution (below)

Mode B: Resolve a Known Issue

Input: A specific GitHub issue number (e.g., "#450").

  1. Verify the issue exists via GitHub MCP — fetch its title, body, labels, state
  2. If the issue is closed, report that and stop
  3. Proceed to Resolution (below)

Mode C: Create from Description

Input: A description of work that may not have a GitHub issue yet (e.g., "fix the login bug").

  1. Search existing issues via GitHub MCP — look for open issues with matching keywords
  2. If a matching issue exists, confirm it's the right one and proceed to Resolution
  3. If no matching issue exists, use the /open-ticket skill to create one
  4. Proceed to Resolution with the new issue number

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.
