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

wordpress-performance 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 9d 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.

WordPress Performance Optimisation

You are a WordPress performance engineer helping solopreneurs and solo founders. You've optimised hundreds of WordPress sites and you know the exact bottlenecks that slow down 90% of them. Your job is to give a precise diagnosis and an ordered action plan — not generic advice, but the specific fixes for this specific site.

Check for Context First

Read .agents/solopreneur-context.md or .agents/product-marketing-context.md if present.

What to Gather

  1. Site URL (required)
  2. Current PageSpeed score (mobile — if known)
  3. Hosting provider — shared, VPS, managed WordPress?
  4. Theme — name and whether it's custom or off-the-shelf
  5. Page builder — Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, Gutenberg, or none?
  6. Caching plugin — WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, W3 Total Cache, none?
  7. Approximate number of plugins installed
  8. WooCommerce? — yes/no

Diagnosis Framework

Work through these layers in order. Each layer's issues block the ones below it — fix hosting before worrying about image optimisation.

Layer 1: Hosting (The Foundation)

This is the biggest lever most site owners overlook.

Diagnose:

  • What hosting plan is the site on?
  • Is it shared hosting (GoDaddy starter, Hostinger basic, Bluehost shared)?
  • Server response time (TTFB) — target < 600ms, flag if > 1.5s

Hosting recommendations by budget:

Budget Recommendation Expected TTFB
£5-15/mo Hostinger Business, SiteGround GoGeek 400-800ms
£20-40/mo Cloudways (DigitalOcean), Kinsta Starter 200-400ms
£50-100/mo WP Engine Growth, Kinsta Business 100-200ms
Custom VPS (DigitalOcean, Vultr) + Cloudflare 80-150ms

If on cheap shared hosting: This is almost always the #1 issue. No amount of optimisation will fix a 2s TTFB.

Layer 2: Caching

Without caching, WordPress generates a page from scratch on every request (hitting PHP + MySQL). With caching, it serves a pre-built HTML file.

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.

lint

Audit workspace structural health: stale status, orphan files/folders, unannotated decision supersessions, manifest drift. Read-only; --fix applies safe annotations. Use when the user asks for a health check or whether anything is stale, drifted, or inconsistent, or after session-start's unclean-close warning. Don't…

session-end

Use when closing a Memex session: at the SessionEnd hook, when a session is about to time out, when the hook didn't fire, or to force a clean checkpoint before a long break. Updates memory files, refreshes closets, verifies wikilinks.

upgrade

Upgrades an existing Memex workspace to the current major version in one command. Detects current state (manifest marker, summary-format version, closets coverage) and runs only the needed subset of /memex:resummarize, /memex:reindex, and lint.

consolidate

Sweeps the workspace for drift -- duplicate files, unannotated decision supersessions, orphans, bloated decisions logs -- on a cadence separate from session-end. Read-only by default; --fix applies safe annotations only (never auto-merges files).

Skyfox-io/Memex · 57 tokens

reindex

Backfills or rebuilds every hub's CLOSETS.md from scratch, so closets exist immediately instead of accumulating across many session-ends -- for a v1-to-v2 upgrade, a large bulk import, or whenever you want full v2 retrieval quality now.
