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

ask 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 5d 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 — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ask Resolve

Use when the user wants Resolve to answer a question or do more investigation work.

Arguments

If $ARGUMENTS is non-empty, use it as the user's base message and proceed (enrich with conversation context as below, then call ask).

If $ARGUMENTS is empty (skill invoked without a clear question), ask the user once what they want to ask Resolve. Treat their next reply as the base message.

Composing the message

Before calling ask, enrich the user's base message with context from the current conversation that directly supports the specific question being asked.

Be ruthlessly selective. Do not dump every file you've read, every command you've run, or the conversation transcript. Include only what makes the question more answerable. If a piece of context isn't load-bearing for this specific message, leave it out.

Candidates to consider (include only those tied to the question):

  • File paths the user opened or edited in the path of investigating this exact issue
  • Error messages, log lines, or stack traces that name the symptom the user is asking about
  • Git context (branch, recent commits, working changes) when the question is about a change being made
  • URLs the user referenced that frame this question (Slack threads, dashboards, related canvases)
  • A one-line framing of what the user is working on — only if the question doesn't stand on its own

Format the enriched message as the user's question first, then a brief ## Local context block with only the relevant items. Most asks need 1–3 lines of context, not a dump.

Picking scope

Default to whatever investigation/chat is currently in context:

  • The user just engaged an investigation via investigate → scope the ask to it.
  • A chat is already in flight under that investigation → continue it.
  • The user switches to a different investigation mid-conversation → start fresh there.
  • No active context → standalone Resolve chat.

After asking

Call ask with the selected scope and enriched message, then surface the returned URL.

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.
