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

reviewer-handoff 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.

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.

What it actually says

Purpose

This skill defines the output format for review handoffs — the structured summary a Reviewer delivers after inspecting work. The progress file (.memory/reviews/review-<type>-<timestamp>.md) contains the full findings trail. The handoff adds the verdict and planned commits on failure.

Procedure

  1. Assemble the handoff using the template below. The progress file path is required — it contains all findings.
## Review Summary

**Verdict:** <pass | partial-pass | fail>
**Type:** <code | architecture | documentation | configuration | other>
**Progress file:** <path to review progress file>

## SHIELD Self-Review Scorecard
[Complete the scorecard from `skills/reviewer-self-review/SKILL.md`]
  1. Determine the verdict.

    • pass — zero blockers and all review phases completed.
    • partial-pass — zero blockers but a review phase was skipped (e.g., external tool unavailable).
    • fail — one or more blockers.
  2. Append planned commits on failure. When the verdict is fail and the type is code, add a "Planned Commits" section after the summary. Write conventional-commit messages (follows: rules/git.md) for each requested fix. This gives the next step ready-made commit messages once the fixes land.

Guardrails

  • Never omit the Progress file reference — it contains the full analysis trail and is required on every review.

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.
