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

quinotospec-validate 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.

Skill: QuinotoSpec Validate

Usa esta skill como precondición antes de crear o modificar artefactos.

Preflight

python3 agent-dist/skills/quinotospec-contract/contract.py validate --root . --strict

El comando valida el contrato común de proposals, stories, tasks, IDs, estados y changelog. Debe ejecutarse antes de create-proposal, create-user-stories, create-tasks, apply y archive.

Checks del proyecto

  1. .quinoto-spec/discovery/ existe y contiene los ocho archivos esperados.
  2. 08-product-and-agreements.md tiene contenido real de DoR/DoD.
  3. .quinoto-spec/prefix-registry.md existe y no contiene prefijos duplicados.
  4. Existe al menos una fuente de changelog: .quinoto-spec/changelog/ (v2) o .quinoto-spec/quinoto-spec-changelog.md (v1 legacy). v2 es el formato canónico.
  5. Las proposals activas tienen proposal.md, prefijo registrado, fecha y estado válido.
  6. Cada task tiene una relación explícita con una story existente.
  7. Los archivos de _archived/ no se modifican durante un workflow normal.
  8. El discovery no supera 30 días sin una alerta.
  9. Si .quinoto-spec/constitution.md existe, valida que no tenga placeholders sin resolver y registra si está draft o active; si está activa, sus gates son obligatorios.

Comportamiento

  • Errores del contrato o de los checks obligatorios: detener el workflow.
  • Warnings: informar y pedir confirmación en modo estricto.
  • Changelog: usar siempre quinotospec-update-changelog; nunca borrar entradas v2.
  • Artefactos archivados: solo lectura; cualquier restauración requiere aprobación explícita.
  • Decisiones humanas: cuando el gate sea aplicable, valida el registro estructurado con rules_enforce.py --require-approval; no acepta --approved-critical como sustituto.

Flags

  • --quick: discovery, prefijos y contrato básico.
  • --full: todos los checks del proyecto y del contrato.
  • --strict: convierte warnings en bloqueo.
  • --json: salida estable para CI.
  • --fix: solo corrige estructura segura; nunca reescribe contenido legacy sin confirmación.

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.
