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

thread 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.

What it actually says

STOP — DO NOT READ THIS FILE. You are already reading it.

/pbr:thread — Persistent Context Threads

Lightweight cross-session knowledge stores for work spanning multiple sessions that doesn't belong to any specific phase. Lighter than /pbr:pause (no phase state), richer than /pbr:note (structured sections).

Subcommands

/pbr:thread <name> — Create thread

  1. mkdir -p .planning/threads
  2. Generate slug from name
  3. Write .planning/threads/{slug}.md:
---
created: {ISO date}
updated: {ISO date}
status: active
---

# {Thread Name}

## Goal
{What this thread is tracking — ask user}

## Context
{Current state of the work — filled during creation}

## References
{Related files, phases, decisions — gathered from conversation}

## Next Steps
{What to do next — filled during creation}
  1. Display: Thread created: {name}

/pbr:thread list — List threads

Scan .planning/threads/*.md, display name + status + last updated.

/pbr:thread resume <name> — Resume thread

  1. Find .planning/threads/{slug}.md
  2. Read and display Goal, Context, References, Next Steps
  3. Thread context is now in the conversation — work can continue
  4. Update the updated field in frontmatter

/pbr:thread close <name> — Close thread

Update status to closed. Optionally promote to phase or backlog.

Anti-Patterns

  1. DO NOT use threads for phase-specific work — use pause/resume instead
  2. DO NOT create threads for one-off notes — use /pbr:note instead
  3. DO NOT auto-close threads — always ask user
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.
