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

recap-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 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.

/recap-ask — Recap-Bounded Q&A

Trigger

  • Keywords: recap-ask, ask about recap, 追問 recap, follow-up on recap, 本輪問答

When NOT to Use

Scenario Alternative
Generate a new recap doc from scope /recap-doc
Full flow (detect + doc + Q&A) /post-dev-recap wrapper
General project Q&A, no recap in hand /ask
Deep multi-source investigation /deep-research
Systematic code tracing across modules /code-explore
First-principles reasoning about a doc /fp-brief

Command Signature

/recap-ask <question> --context <recap-doc-path> [--continue <threadId>] [--lazy-fetch]
Flag Default Description
<question> required Free-text user question
--context required Absolute or repo-relative path to a briefing-recap-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md file
--continue null Reuse an existing Codex threadId for follow-up turns
--lazy-fetch true Allow Read on files listed in the recap §7 Evidence during synthesis. When false, Codex answers from recap text only (no code-verification reads); citations still reference <path>:<line> from §7 but are not re-opened

What ships with it

Changes

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.
