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

using-superpowers 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 1mo 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

路由到合适的技能

开始一项实质性任务时,判断某个可用技能是否会明显改善执行方式。

在以下情况选择技能:

  • 用户明确要求使用它。
  • 请求与其描述高度匹配。
  • 它是另一项已选流程的必要前提。

只涉及主题或关联很弱的提及,应作为上下文来源,而非调用信号。用户要求解释、比较或审查技能时,把技能当作源材料检查;用户要求修改技能时,使用相应的技能编写流程。

选择最小的有效集合

优先选择能完整覆盖任务的最小技能集合。

当流程技能会实质改变方法时才使用它们。领域或实现技能用于专业知识和执行。当两者都需要时,按依赖顺序应用,不要反复重新路由。

选定技能后:

  1. 简短告知用户正在使用哪些技能以及原因。
  2. 让每个已选技能负责自己相关的流程。
  3. 在当前任务中保持该选择;只有任务发生重大变化时才重新路由。

解决冲突

用户指令和仓库专属指令优先于技能默认规则。

多个技能规则重叠时,优先使用更具体的规则,并让每个关卡或检查清单只由一个技能负责。

运用判断

当技能通过专业知识、有意义的决策框架、易出错的流程或必需的工具工作流,改变某个决定或行动时,它才有价值。若移除该技能后任务流程没有实质变化,就不应在该任务中使用它。

如果检查上下文后发现已选技能没有改变任何决定或行动,停止使用它,继续执行其余流程。

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.
