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

bds-status 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Beads Status

Quick overview of the current beads queue.

On Activation

Run the queries below and present a concise summary.

1. Ready issues

bd ready

Show the list. If empty, say "No ready issues."

2. In-progress issues

Find issues currently in_progress. Try bd list --status=in_progress first; if that form is not supported by the installed bd version, fall back to whichever query the local bd exposes.

If more than one issue is in_progress, flag this — per the bds-workflow Concurrency rule, only one issue should be in_progress per session.

Output Format

Keep it short:

Ready (N):
  ABC-12  Title here
  ABC-15  Another title

In progress (M):
  ABC-09  Currently being worked on

Do not call bd show for each issue — the user can ask separately if they want details.

If bd Is Missing

If bd is not installed or bd where fails (the repo has not been initialized for bd), suggest the bds-setup skill and stop.

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.
