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

dowork 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Drain the ticket queue

Drains the open ticket backlog. The user is away; never ask questions, never stop the loop for one blocked ticket.

Preconditions

  1. Confirm git branch --show-current is on any branch other than main, inside an Orca worktree, not the canonical checkout. If either is false, stop and say so.
  2. Install dependencies as CLAUDE.md says, if not already done.
  3. Read the newest file in z/handoffs/ (highest timestamp) other than README.md, for what is already true on disk; if none exists, run /handoff first so progress has somewhere to land.
  4. python3 .claude/skills/do_all/scripts/queue.py list to get the queue in pick order.

Loop, one ticket at a time

Pick order is priority tier first, then NNN: tier order is user, must, nice from each ticket's Priority: line (a missing line counts as user), and within a tier the lowest NNN runs first. Only tickets whose Depends on tickets are all in closed/ qualify; skip tickets whose Status is blocked. queue.py next prints exactly that pick, so never compute it by hand. If an argument names a specific ticket file, do that one first. --one stops the loop after one ticket closes or blocks, and combines with a filename: /dowork <file> --one does that ticket and nothing else. --until NNN stops once a ticket numbered NNN has closed or blocked. A ticket with Owner: primary is executed by the primary session itself (no worker dispatch): follow the ticket's Steps, then close it as below, under the attempt ladder's three-round cap — after three failed rounds, mark it blocked and continue or stop per the normal rules. A ticket whose Steps run /ship is last: /ship closes it and writes the final handoff itself; steps e, f, and g are skipped, and the loop ends after /ship returns.

a. Dispatch the worker. Call the Agent tool with subagent_type: worker and this exact prompt, filling in the two paths. The primary session does not read the ticket body beyond its title and ## Acceptance lines; the worker reads the rest.

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.
