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

next-tasks 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 6d 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

Next Tasks

Extract "next tasks" from ~/.ypm/PROJECT_STATUS.md and display in priority order.

Prerequisites

  • Run /ypm:setup first if ~/.ypm/config.yml doesn't exist
  • Run /ypm:project-status-update first if ~/.ypm/PROJECT_STATUS.md doesn't exist

Display Format

  • Project name
  • Current Phase
  • Next task
  • Last update date

Priority Order

  1. Active projects (updated within 1 week)
  2. Projects with high implementation progress
  3. By Phase order
  • Suggest the highest priority project
  • Clarify the next task to work on

CRITICAL: Reporting Guidelines

  • Display "next task" as-is from PROJECT_STATUS.md
  • DO NOT create new plans or features
  • Include Issue number if GitHub Issues exist
  • Add "(source unknown)" if information source is unclear

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.
