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

summarize-ideas scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

summarize-ideas

Workflow for producing a terse, idea-centric readout of every in-flight idea in the workspace, then a consolidated ## Next block of high-impact actions for juggling multiple ideas at once.

The unit of work is the idea. Sessions are one facet ("what's running on this idea"); backlog state is the other primary signal ("what's queued / blocked / mid-flight"). The recap reads by idea.

Steps

  1. One batched call. ideate:list_ideas with include_output_lines: 40. That single call returns every non-archived idea's summary, backlog counts + in-progress titles, sessions.running and sessions.dormant lists, last_activity_at, AND the most-recent running session's last 40 lines of screen — every signal this skill needs.

    Do not loop over the result calling list_backlog_by_slug / get_session_output / get_idea_by_slug per idea. One batched call covers it.

  2. Filter and sort. Default: keep ideas with any signal — running session, dormant session, or non-zero backlog.open + in_progress. Drop ideas with neither (they're parked; the user hasn't asked for them). Sort by last_activity_at descending so the most-touched idea leads. If the user named a filter (s:paused, etc.), honor it.

  3. Pick 1–3 high-impact next actions across the whole readout. After the per-idea sections, surface a consolidated ## Next block. High impact, in priority order:

    • Awaiting input. Sessions in awaiting state (refined per step 4 below) need a human answer to keep moving. Surface these first.
    • CI / review blocks. PRs with failing CI or CHANGES_REQUESTED — pick up the agent's most recent revision loop.
    • In-progress backlog idle a while. An in_progress item on an idea whose last_activity_at is hours old means the agent left work half-done; suggest resuming.
    • Dormant sessions with open backlog. "Resume idea-X to take on its remaining 3 open tasks."

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.
