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

output-handshake 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.

What it actually says

Output handshake (WHAT)

Use first when producing a final version of any deliverable that will leave the chat session: PRD, TRD, ADR, work item, planning notes, workflow/validation summary, project assessment, assessment scorecard, evidence map, meeting minutes, decision log, agreement, incident report, spike, or PR/MR body.

Default behavior (always)

  1. Destination — Ask explicitly: where should the final content live? (Examples: a path in docs/, a file in a repo, a page in a documentation tool, a task/Doc description, paste-only, or a combination.) Do not default to a location without the user (or the engagement pack) saying so.
  2. Review — State that a human must review before the artifact is considered approved; the assistant does not substitute for that review.
  3. Then proceed with the relevant skill (prd, trd, adr, work-item, planning, development-workflow, project-assessment, project-assessment-evidence, technical-unit-assessment, management-unit-assessment, meeting-minutes, decision-log, agreement, incident, spike, pr-fallback + forge workflow, etc.).

Boundaries

  • This skill does not contain org templates; those stay in the specific artifact skills and their references/default-template.md files.

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.
