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

update-project-docs 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 2d 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

Update project docs

Use this skill after completing any feature, fix, or migration to keep the three core project tracking files in sync.

Activate with: @update

Step 1: Get real dates

Run this first:

git log --date=short -n 10

Use actual commit dates. Never use placeholder dates or future months.

Step 2: Update TASK.md

Move completed items into ## Completed with the date:

- [x] Feature name (YYYY-MM-DD)
  - [x] Sub-task detail
  - [x] Sub-task detail

Add a session update note at the top of ## Current Status:

Session updates complete on YYYY-MM-DD.

If new work is queued, add it under ## To Do.

Step 3: Update changelog.md

Follow https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/ format. Add the new entry at the top under ## [Unreleased] or as a versioned release:

## [vX.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD

### Added
- Feature name with key details

### Fixed
- Bug description and resolution

### Changed
- What changed and why

Version increment guide (check existing version in changelog.md first):

  • New feature: bump minor (2.20.x -> 2.21.0)
  • Bug fix or small improvement: bump patch (2.20.0 -> 2.20.1)

Step 4: Update files.md

Only update if new files were added or if existing file descriptions are outdated.

  • Add new files to the correct table section
  • Keep descriptions to 1-2 sentences, no emoji
  • Focus on what the file does and any key implementation details

Checklist

Before calling this done, confirm:

  • git log --date=short run to get real dates
  • TASK.md completed section updated with date and sub-items
  • changelog.md new entry added with real version and date
  • files.md updated if new files exist

Notes

  • This skill applies to this project. If the project you are working on does not have these exact files, adapt the steps to whatever tracking files exist.
  • Do not create README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, or other documentation files unless explicitly requested.
Changes

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.
