About the project

ConnectOnion is an open-source, template-first toolkit for building, debugging, deploying, and operating AI agents. Developers use its command-line tools and Python runtime to create agents, add tools, connect services, deploy them, and make them callable by other agents, while the catalogue entries are related agents, skills, and instructions.

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

rem-source-whatsapp 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

WhatsApp as a source

Read this together with the stage Skill that loaded it. That one says what to produce; this one says only what is true of this source.

What reaches you

Only the chats the user named with co rem sources add whatsapp --chat <id>. A person or group missing from the batch was not chosen; never treat it as absent from the user's life.

Each item carries:

  • role: user — typed by the account owner: the user's own voice, the most important material.
  • role: other — someone else, with their display name as speaker. Keep both sides, as with mail.
  • correspondent / subject — the chat id. …@g.us is a group; …@s.whatsapp.net or …@lid is one person. A chat id never goes on a page as a name.

The agent's own replies are left out on purpose: they are execution, not the user. If a message refers to "what the bot said", do not reconstruct it.

A batch is one conversation

Whole chats, oldest first. In a group, write each person's page from what they said, and the group's own page (a project, a client relationship, a rolling agenda) from what was agreed in it. One page per person across groups, with each group as a place they were met.

Groups are clients' rooms

Most business groups are one client each. Never carry a fact, number, price or guest from one group onto another group's client page, even when the user and topic are the same. Name the group in the source line of any fact from it.

Photos, documents and voice notes

[image saved at /…/media/3EB0….jpg] is a real local file: open it when it matters to the page (a contract photo, a floor plan, a screenshot someone asked about). [document could not be fetched: …] means the file is gone: record that it existed, never guess its content.

Short messages

"ok", "👍", "done" answer the message before them; read them with it, and never write a page about a thumbs-up. A short "yes go ahead" from the user after someone else's proposal is a decision: the proposal is the content, the "yes" the decision.

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.
