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 C, and why

second-opinion scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 16 executable files (scripts/lib/kendex-env.sh, tests/cli-failure-gate.test.sh, tests/detached-run.test.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Second Opinion

Cross-model second opinion via external AI CLI. Every mode walks the SECOND_OPINION_MODELS roster in priority order and takes the first target that is available and runs a different model: Codex from a Claude Code session, Claude from a Codex session; when nothing eligible remains the run refuses and says why. Full contract: second-opinion --help.

Execution Rules

  • Execute all workflow sections in order. The workflow decides what to skip via "Skip if" conditions. Never skip based on your own scope assessment.
  • <output_format> tags are literal templates: fill [PLACEHOLDERS], omit empty lines, add nothing else, do not paraphrase.
  • Pass --target when the user explicitly requests a specific model/CLI (e.g., "use Claude", "ask Codex"). Otherwise omit it. The script selects from the roster and the current session's model. A forced target that runs this session's model is refused; report the refusal, do not work around it.
  • Do not pass --timeout unless the user explicitly asks for a different value for this specific call. The script reads the default from project config.
  • Always pass --cwd with the absolute project root path. Never use --cwd ..
  • Pass --foreground when the call can outlast the harness foreground cap. This detaches the run and prints its artifact, deadline, and wait command.
  • Execute the exact printed wait command and follow its exit handling in second-opinion --help until terminal.
  • For quick mode, you can pass the question inline: .agents/skills/second-opinion/scripts/second-opinion quick "your question here" --cwd /path --foreground.

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.
