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

dev-swarm-stage-init-ideas 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 16d 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.

Your Roles in This Skill

See dev-swarm/docs/general-dev-stage-rule.md for role selection guidance.

Role Communication

See dev-swarm/docs/general-dev-stage-rule.md for the required role announcement format.

Pre-Stage Check

This is the first stage. Verify ideas.md exists with content before proceeding.

Instructions

Step 1: Context Review

Read the ideas file to understand the user's initial concept:

  • ideas.md

Step 2: Initialize Project Stage Structure

Process stage exclusions from ideas.md:

  1. Check if ideas.md has a "Development Stages" section:

    • If yes: Identify all unchecked stages (marked with [ ])
    • If no: Skip this step - assume all stages are enabled by default
  2. For each excluded/skipped stage (except non-skippable stages: 00, 04, 07, 09):

    • Create the stage folder if it doesn't exist
    • Create SKIP.md in that folder (if it doesn't already exist)
    • Content: "Stage excluded as per ideas.md configuration"

Note: Non-skippable stages (00-init-ideas, 04-prd, 07-tech-specs, 10-sprints) cannot have SKIP.md files.

Stage list reference:

  • 00-init-ideas, 01-market-research, 02-personas, 03-mvp, 04-prd, 05-ux, 06-architecture, 07-tech-specs, 08-devops, 10-sprints, 11-deployment

Step 3: Create Stage Proposal

General Rules: See dev-swarm/docs/general-dev-stage-rule.md → "Create Stage Proposal Rules" section.

Create the file 00-init-ideas/README.md with the following content:

3.1 Stage Goal

Brief the goal in 2-3 paragraphs:

  • What this stage aims to achieve (transforming raw ideas into actionable business requirements)
  • Why clarifying the problem and solution is critical before proceeding
  • What deliverables will be produced

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.
