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

verify 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.

Verify: Note Quality and Source Integrity

Overview

Assesses vault notes on two dimensions: structural quality (depth, sourcing, linking, voice, atomicity) and source truthfulness (are URLs real, do claims match citations). Produces a combined report and fix plan that feeds into /deepen.

When to Use

  • /verify "note-name": single note
  • /verify inbox: everything in 0-inbox/
  • /verify fleeting: everything in 1-fleeting/ (the gate-demoted notes — catches stuck verification markers and source: unverified notes that have no other resurfacing path)
  • /verify permanent: everything in 3-permanent/
  • /verify "topic": all notes matching a topic
  • /verify: defaults to 0-inbox/
  • After a burst of captures to check what landed well
  • Before promoting notes from inbox to permanent
  • When deciding where to invest /deepen effort
  • When you suspect fabricated or stale references

Provenance

This skill emits provenance events for pipeline observability.

At session start (after scope identified):

ll-run provenance-emit.js '{"agent":"verify","skill":"verify","action":"session-start","intent_kind":"scope","config":{"note_count":N}}'

After scoring and verification, emit each finding via provenance-emit.js:

For each note with issues, pass the prose with --text so you never escape it into the JSON. Quotes, backticks and $ in the finding are safe as-is:

ll-run provenance-emit.js '{"agent":"verify","skill":"verify","action":"score","target":"note-filename.md","result":"fail","finding_type":"overclaim","trigger":"verify-manual","confidence":"clear","ambiguous_alt":""}' \
  --text finding_detail 'single RCT stated as consensus'

Where:

  • finding_type is one of: url-fabrication, author-swap, number-reassignment, overclaim, source-missing, stale, logical-gap, conflation. See agents-shared/capture-rules.md → Finding-Type Discriminator for the source-missing vs logical-gap boundary rule.
  • trigger is one of: verify-auto (URL/source check), verify-manual (human review), cross-note (pattern across notes), retrieval (found during search), stale-scan (date check)
  • confidence is clear (obvious classification) or ambiguous (could be another type)
  • ambiguous_alt is the alternative type considered when confidence is ambiguous, empty string when clear

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.
