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-workflows 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 4d 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 Workflow Blueprints

Intent

  • Speed up comprehension of complex processes (PR lifecycle, launch plan, triage ops) via monospaced diagrams.
  • Provide reusable templates and conventions for both macOS/Linux terminals and Windows consoles.

Inputs

  1. Workflow steps, roles, decision points.
  2. Target medium (GitHub comment, Slack, Notion, terminal output).
  3. Required metadata (owners, SLAs, tools).

Workflow

  1. Select diagram type
    • Flowchart (boxes/arrows) for branching logic.
    • Timeline/swimlane for sequential steps.
  2. Use standard glyphs
    • Start/End: (start) (end)
    • Process: [ action ]
    • Decision: { condition? }
    • Arrows: -->, ==>, ~~> for async.
  3. Build with templates
    • Flow template:
      (start)
        |
      [Step 1]
        |
      {Decision?}
       /   \
      
    yes no
    - Timeline template:
    
    Day 0 Day 3 Day 7 |-----|-----|-----| Dev QA Launch
  4. Annotate with data
    • Include owners (@alice), tooling (gh pr checks), or SLA markers (<24h).
  5. Validate readability
    • View in plain text viewer; avoid tabs; max width 80 chars.

Verification

  • Diagram renders without wrapping in GitHub/CLI.
  • Each decision path labeled clearly.
  • Stored alongside workflow documentation (e.g., .factory/docs/visuals).
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.
