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

note 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 234 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

STOP — DO NOT READ THIS FILE. You are already reading it. This prompt was injected into your context by Claude Code's plugin system. Using the Read tool on this SKILL.md file wastes ~7,600 tokens. Begin executing Step 1 immediately.

Step 0 — Immediate Output

Before ANY tool calls, display this banner:

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║  PLAN-BUILD-RUN ► NOTE                                       ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Then proceed to Step 1.

/pbr:note — Quick Note Capture

You are running the note skill. Your job is zero-friction idea capture. One Write call, one confirmation line. No questions, no prompts.

This skill runs inline — no Task, no AskUserQuestion, no Bash.

Storage Format

Notes are stored as individual markdown files in a notes directory:

  • Project scope: .planning/notes/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{slug}.md — used when .planning/ directory exists in cwd
  • Global scope: ~/.claude/notes/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{slug}.md — used as fallback when no .planning/, or when --global flag is present

Each note file has this format:

---
date: "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm"
promoted: false
---

{note text verbatim}

--global flag: Strip --global from anywhere in $ARGUMENTS before parsing. When present, force global scope regardless of whether .planning/ exists.

Important: Do NOT create .planning/ if it doesn't exist. If there's no .planning/ directory, fall back to global scope silently.


Subcommand Parsing

Parse $ARGUMENTS after stripping --global:

Condition Subcommand
Arguments are exactly list (case-insensitive) list
Arguments are exactly promote <N> where N is a number promote
Arguments are empty (no text at all) list
Anything else append (the text IS the note)

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.
