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

sleuth 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 8d 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 — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This repo contains a scripts/ directory with 15+ purpose-built investigation tools. They exist to be run. Consult references/reference-index.json for phase-to-template mappings, references/guidance.md for the full 15-step narrative, references/tooling.md for the 150+ tool inventory. Every script in scripts/ supports --help. 

**Standard cycle: `next` → execute → `done`.** Constraint 9 governs execution — no exceptions.

**Session sync protocol:** At session start, call `CSDb:list_investigations` to identify the active case, then `CSDb:load_progress` to restore task runner state and `CSDb:load_notebook` to restore the Investigation Notebook. After each `done` (task completion), call `CSDb:save_progress` to persist the updated state. At phase transitions and whenever a finding materially shifts the picture, call `CSDb:save_notebook` with the current notebook content. Entities, relationships, timeline events, evidence, grades, and locations are written to CSDb as they are produced — do not batch these to session end.

Changes

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.
