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

update 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Update

Ingest external information into this ops repo's knowledge base. Two modes depending on whether arguments are provided.

Detect Mode

  • If $ARGUMENTS is non-empty → Inline mode: the arguments contain the information to integrate.
  • If $ARGUMENTS is empty or blank → Inbox mode: process files from .update/.

Inline Mode

The user provided content directly: $ARGUMENTS

  1. Load context. Read CLAUDE.md, MEMORY.md and charter.md to understand the repo structure, goals, and current state.

  2. Classify the information. Apply the whole-file test from CLAUDE.md — fact about the world, or decision/framework?

    • Fact about the world (status, metric, inventory) → state/
    • Decision / strategy / framework / guardrails / research → references/
    • Specific actions to do next → backlog/
    • Delivered output → artifacts/
    • Strategic insight → may also warrant a MEMORY.md Key Learnings update
    • Mixed → split

    Trap: "current strategic posture" content feels state-shaped but is forward-looking strategy → references/.

    A changed goal, audience or non-goal goes into charter.md, and only when the user says that is what changed; when a source merely suggests it, ask (step 3). Where the repo's CLAUDE.md has an ## Autopilot section, a product or feature idea goes into backlog/ideas.md, for autopilot to route to a repository, and state/autopilot.md and references/autopilot-policy.md are never edited: they are autopilot's own. There, too, user feedback (anything in a user's own voice: a reply, a review, a complaint, a request) goes only into references/users/feedback.md, newest first, one line each: - YYYY-MM-DD · <source type> · <persona, if one fits> — <the substance>. Anonymise it before writing: remove names, email addresses, handles, phone numbers, street addresses, account IDs and anything else that identifies a person; make a place finer than a city the city; keep the substance, the date and the kind of source; never store a screenshot of someone's message. Feedback goes nowhere else in the repo.

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.
