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

inbox 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.

Inbox: Batch Triage and Processing

Overview

Launches the inbox-organiser agent to process all notes in 0-inbox/. The agent clusters by topic, assesses maturity via the promote-gate skill, detects counter-arguments, and executes promotions autonomously. Merges, deletes, and fleeting archival require approval.

When to Use

  • Inbox has accumulated notes that need triage
  • After a series of /reflect sessions that deposited notes
  • When the user asks to clean up, process, or triage the inbox

Provenance

This skill emits provenance events for pipeline observability. Run each Bash command silently.

At session start:

ll-run provenance-emit.js '{"agent":"inbox","skill":"inbox","action":"session-start"}'

At session end. Alongside the existing counters, include the common outcome shape: items_in (notes triaged), items_out (promoted plus merged), items_flagged (limbo), duration_ms:

ll-run provenance-emit.js '{"agent":"inbox","skill":"inbox","action":"session-end","promoted":N,"deleted":N,"merged":N,"rewrites":N,"limbo":N,"items_in":N,"items_out":N,"items_flagged":N,"duration_ms":N}'

Per-note tracking is automatic for main-thread writes via the PostToolUse hook; subagent writes and edits (note-writer files, the organiser's own Edits and mv-promotions) bypass it and are covered by the Step 2 hook replays (2a for note-writer output, 2c for the agent's touched-files inventory).

Process

Step 1: Launch Agent

Launch the inbox-organiser agent with:

  • vault_path: {{VAULT}}/
  • scope: all (or topic:<name> if the user specified a topic filter)

The agent definition is at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/agents/inbox-organiser.md (resolve to a literal path before dispatch — see agents-shared/vault-io.md → Placeholders).

Spawn the inbox-organiser agent (dispatch: skills-shared/dispatch.md) with the full prompt from the agent definition, or launch a general-purpose agent that reads the agent file.

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.
