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

suggest 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 today.

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

Suggest

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/vbw" interview 2>&1 || true
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/vbw" suggest list 2>&1 || true

Above: the user's answers (level, explanation depth, involvement) and the suggestions already declined in this project.

When

Only at spec proposal (with the proposed requirements) and at plan approval (with the plan). Never offer or ask mid-run, mid-build, during a run, or while a step is working; the user is not interrupted for ideas.

What

At most three suggestions, each one yes or no. None is required: zero is valid, and when nothing worth raising exists, say nothing about suggestions. Never pad to reach three.

Match them to the user's level and explanation depth: for a first-time builder, plain outcomes ("Should visitors be able to find the page by searching?"); for a senior engineer, terse technical ones (rate limiting, migrations, observability). With no interview answers, stay neutral: plain and brief.

Before offering, read vbw show requirements and vbw show decisions. Never offer a duplicate of a requirement or a decision, and never offer one whose text matches the declined list above.

Answers

Ask with AskUserQuestion, one question per suggestion: "Yes", "No". The user may decline any.

  • Yes, a testable outcome: vbw spec add auto|human "statement" (as the router does for any requirement).
  • Yes, a choice or constraint: vbw decide "<what>" "<why: accepted on suggestion>".
  • No: vbw suggest decline "<the suggestion's exact text>". A declined suggestion is never offered again in this project; never offer it again, reworded or not.

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.
