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

context-driven-development 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 today.

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.

Context-Driven Development

Guide for implementing and maintaining context as a managed artifact alongside code, enabling consistent AI interactions and team alignment through structured project documentation.

When to Use This Skill

  • Setting up new projects with Conductor
  • Understanding the relationship between context artifacts
  • Maintaining consistency across AI-assisted development sessions
  • Onboarding team members to an existing Conductor project
  • Deciding when to update context documents
  • Managing greenfield vs brownfield project contexts

Core Philosophy

Context-Driven Development treats project context as a first-class artifact managed alongside code. Instead of relying on ad-hoc prompts or scattered documentation, establish a persistent, structured foundation that informs all AI interactions.

Key principles:

  1. Context precedes code: Define what you're building and how before implementation
  2. Living documentation: Context artifacts evolve with the project
  3. Single source of truth: One canonical location for each type of information
  4. AI alignment: Consistent context produces consistent AI behavior

The Workflow

Follow the Context → Spec & Plan → Implement workflow:

  1. Context Phase: Establish or verify project context artifacts exist and are current
  2. Specification Phase: Define requirements and acceptance criteria for work units
  3. Planning Phase: Break specifications into phased, actionable tasks
  4. Implementation Phase: Execute tasks following established workflow patterns

Artifact Relationships

product.md - Defines WHAT and WHY

Purpose: Captures product vision, goals, target users, and business context.

Contents:

  • Product name and one-line description
  • Problem statement and solution approach
  • Target user personas
  • Core features and capabilities
  • Success metrics and KPIs
  • Product roadmap (high-level)

Update when:

  • Product vision or goals change
  • New major features are planned
  • Target audience shifts
  • Business priorities evolve

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.
