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

quick-capture 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 12d 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

Skill: Quick Capture

Use this skill to drop a new task into GSD Task Manager from any AI assistant that has the gsd-mcp-server connected.

Trigger

Invoke when the user asks to "add a task", "remind me to", "capture", "queue up", or similar phrasing that maps to creating a single new task.

Steps

  1. Decide quadrant from the user's wording:
    • explicit deadline today / blocking → urgent=true, important=true
    • long-term planning, learning, prep → urgent=false, important=true
    • quick favor, low value request → urgent=true, important=false
    • everything else → urgent=false, important=false
  2. Call create_task with { title, urgent, important, tags?, dueDate? }. Pass dryRun: true first when the user is exploring options.
  3. If the user named a project, add it as a tag (lowercase, kebab-case).
  4. Confirm the created quadrant back to the user in one short sentence.

Anti-goals

  • Do not create more than one task per invocation. Use bulk_update_tasks for batch work instead.
  • Do not invent due dates the user did not state.
  • Do not modify existing tasks; that belongs in the triage-inbox skill.

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.
