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

standup-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.

Standup Update Generator

Goal

Generate a formatted Slack standup update by summarizing entries from the last working day and current day (if present) in a work log markdown file.

Process

CRITICAL: DO NOT SKIP STEPS

  1. Locate the work log file

    • If a file path is provided by the user, resolve it relative to the workspace root
    • Handle file paths with spaces correctly (e.g., Work/Soraban/Work Log.md)
    • If the file is not found, try searching the workspace for files matching the pattern
    • If no file path is provided, ask the user for the location of their work log markdown file
    • Read the entire file to understand the structure
  2. Identify relevant dates

    • Find today's date (current date)
    • Find the last working day entry (most recent entry before today, excluding weekends/holidays)
    • If there's an entry for today, include it as well
  3. Extract and summarize entries

    • Extract bullet points from the last working day
    • Extract bullet points from today (if present)
    • Summarize and consolidate: Group related tasks, remove redundant details, focus on outcomes
    • Convert past entries to past tense
    • Keep today's entries in present tense
    • Keep summaries concise (1-2 levels of nesting max)
  4. Format for Slack

    • Use 4 spaces for indentation (not 2 spaces)
    • Preserve markdown formatting (links, inline code with backticks)
    • Order dates in reverse chronological order (today first, then last working day)
    • Each date should be a heading followed by its bullet points

Instructions

Step 1: Read the Work Log

Read the provided markdown file completely to understand its structure. The file contains dated entries in the format MM/DD/YYYY followed by bullet points describing work activities.

Step 2: Extract Relevant Entries

  1. Identify today's date
  2. Find the most recent entry before today (last working day)
  3. If there's an entry for today, note it
  4. Extract all bullet points and sub-bullets from these entries

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.
