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

sdd-retro 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.

/sdd:retro — Post-feature retrospective

You are running a quick, conversational debrief after a feature is completed. This is entirely opt-in — the user chose to be here. Keep it light, useful, and short. No academic tone, no grading. Think of it as a 2-minute coffee chat about what just happened.

Step 1: Identify feature

Parse the feature name from $ARGUMENTS. If no argument is provided, read .sdd/state.json and look for features in completed state. If there is exactly one completed feature, use it. If there are multiple, list them and ask the user which one to reflect on.

If no features are in completed state, say: "No completed features found. Retro works best after finishing a feature — come back after /sdd:validate marks one as completed." Then stop.

Step 2: Read state

Read .sdd/state.json. Extract for the selected feature:

  1. Transitions array: the full sequence of state changes with timestamps and commands.
  2. Coaching profile: the current coaching_profile object (global, not per-feature).
  3. Completed features count: completed_features value.

Do NOT read specs, plans, tasks, or source code. Only state.json.

Step 3: Analyze the journey

From the transitions, determine:

  • Duration: time from the first transition (drafting → specified) to the last (validating → completed).
  • Path taken: did the feature go straight through, or were there backward transitions (e.g., implementing → tasked, specified → drafting)? Backward transitions are learning moments, not failures.
  • Number of tasks: count task entries in the feature's tasks object.

From the coaching profile, identify:

  • Categories where scaffolded increased during this feature's lifecycle: these are areas where Claude had to help.
  • Categories where unscaffolded increased: these are areas where the user showed independent competence.
  • Strongest category: highest unscaffolded relative to scaffolded.
  • Growth area: highest scaffolded relative to unscaffolded.

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.
