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

tools-visual-retro 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 7d 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

Visual Retro Templates

Intent

  • Make retrospective insights digestible for visual learners without slideware.
  • Standardize text-based templates for PRs, issues, or shared docs.

Inputs

  1. Retro categories (Went Well, Risks, Next Bets, Metrics).
  2. Key quantitative results and qualitative highlights.
  3. Owners + follow-up items.

Workflow

  1. Pick template
    • Grid:
      +------------+------------------+
      | Went Well  | Needs Attention  |
      +------------+------------------+
      | ...        | ...              |
      
    • Timeline w/ milestones.
    • Heatmap: use [] intensity markers ([++], [+], [~], [!]).
  2. Populate data
    • Keep bullet lines short; include metric deltas (+12% DAU).
    • Tag owners (@name) next to action items.
  3. Embed artifacts
    • Link to logs, dashboards, or experiment IDs inline.
  4. Distribute
    • Paste into PR descriptions, GitHub Discussions, or Slack posts.
    • Optionally store canonical version under .factory/retros/<date>.txt.
  5. Iterate
    • Add “Next Checkpoint” section to set evaluation date.

Verification

  • Template fits within 80 characters width; column headers aligned.
  • Each action item shows owner + due date.
  • Retro artifact linked in change summary or issue comment.

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.
