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

core-workflow 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.

Session Protocol

Start Checklist

# 1. Sync with remote (ALWAYS FIRST)
git fetch origin main && git merge origin/main --no-edit
# or: git fetch origin master && git merge origin/master --no-edit

# 2. Get context
git log -3

# 3. Check for existing work
ls tasks/*.md 2>/dev/null || echo "No active tasks"

CRITICAL: Check <env> section for today's date. NEVER guess dates.

End Checklist

# 1. Verify
npm run test && npm run type-check  # or project equivalent

# 2. Archive completed work
mv tasks/<completed-task>.md .archive/completed-tasks/

# 3. Commit with comprehensive message
git add .
git commit  # See Git Conventions below
git push origin main

Stop dev server after testing: lsof -ti:PORT | xargs kill (or Windows equivalent)


GSD (Get Shit Done) - Multi-Phase Projects

For complex features spanning days/weeks, use GSD.

When to Use GSD

Complexity Use GSD? Workflow
Simple fix (<30 min) No Direct execution
Single feature (30min-2hr) No Task file + TodoWrite
Multi-phase feature (days) Yes GSD workflow
New project/app Yes GSD from start

GSD Quick Start

/gsd:new-project       # Initialize with brief + config
/gsd:create-roadmap    # Create phases and state tracking
/gsd:plan-phase 1      # Create detailed plan for phase
/gsd:execute-plan <path>  # Execute the plan

GSD Commands Reference

Command Purpose
/gsd:progress Check status, route to next action
/gsd:resume-work Resume from previous session
/gsd:pause-work Create handoff when pausing
/gsd:plan-phase <n> Create detailed phase plan
/gsd:execute-plan <path> Execute a PLAN.md
/gsd:add-phase <desc> Add phase to roadmap
/gsd:insert-phase <after> <desc> Insert urgent work
/gsd:complete-milestone <ver> Archive and tag release
/gsd:help Full command reference

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.
