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

status-update 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 10d 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

status-update

Purpose

Create a concise update from messy conversation state without losing the ask, risk, or next milestone.

Modes

  • team
  • manager
  • executive
  • customer / partner

Inputs

  • Slack or email context
  • Project or ticket context
  • Meeting notes
  • Customer context
  • Pasted update notes
  • A reduce-to-facts ledger or conversation-state record

Guardrails

  • Read before write.
  • Do not send the update unless explicitly asked.
  • Keep risks separate from blockers.
  • Tune tone and detail to the audience.
  • Label assumptions and source gaps.
  • Keep the output short enough to send quickly.

Portable Output Contract

  • Use only the useful subset of source-backed facts, assumptions, source gaps, stakeholder sensitivities, potential misreads, and the suggested next action.
  • Use the smallest useful output.
  • Label assumptions and preserve source gaps, source anchors, and confidence labels.
  • When consuming upstream state, do not promote an assumption, inference, open question, proposed action, or stakeholder position into a fact, decision, commitment, owner, or deadline without new source support.
  • Keep unresolved approvals, owners, timing, and blockers explicit in the update.
  • Do not send, publish, update tickets, create events, or mutate systems unless explicitly asked.

Output

  • Conversation state
  • Status
  • What changed
  • Progress
  • Risks / blockers
  • Stakeholder sensitivities
  • Asks
  • Next milestone
  • Suggested audience-specific version

Success Standard

The user should get a send-ready update in under 5 minutes.

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.
