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

second-brain-climb 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 9d 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.

Second Brain - Climb(维护长期方向与爬山状态)

让长期方向成为持续可导航的山,而不是口号、任务清单或静态愿望。当前 Agent 负责基于实际工作证据维护 mountain 页面;不建立目标数据库、常驻追踪器、统一评分器或标准角色库。

显式调用

  • Codex:$second-brain-climb,或从 /skills 选择。
  • Claude、Hermes、AntiGravity:/second-brain-climb

Authority

  • 山脉总览:03-Personal/Profile/长期方向与山脉.md
  • 单座山:03-Personal/Mountains/<山名>.md
  • 读取可优先使用 MCP get_mountain_context
  • 实际工作状态仍由各项目自己的 authority 拥有;mountain 只链接和解释,不复制项目状态。

一座山表达一个长期方向。角色分工写入 Agent profile,不把 Agent 当成山;短期项目也不必都升级为山。

证据层级

清楚区分:

  • verified:有当前项目产物、用户明确陈述、真实结果或可重放验证。
  • supported inference:证据支持但仍需判断。
  • assumption:暂为行动所需,列出替换或敏感性计划。
  • unknown:信息不足,不虚构精确状态。

山的“当前位置”不是情绪估计,也不是完成百分比;它由已经具备的能力、资产、验证和可见阻点组成。

深度 mountain 模型

每次维护都逐项检查,允许没有变化,但不得跳过未审计项:

1. Summit

定义最终想抵达的可识别状态:为谁服务、具备什么持续能力、保持哪些边界、什么证据表示“真的到了”。Summit 是方向,不是固定实现或某个厂商产品。

修改 summit 会改变长期身份和资源取舍,属于高风险;无论推断多合理,都先向用户展示旧/新差异、原因和后果并取得确认。

2. Current position

列出当前真实资产、已验证能力、尚未验证能力和最近证据日期。链接实际项目、commit、报告、对话学习或外部结果。

3. Gap

说明 summit 与 current 之间缺少的能力、信息、信誉、基础设施、习惯或资源。避免把“任务未完成”误写成根本差距。

4. Candidate routes

维护至少一个主路线和有证据时的替代路线。每条路线写清机制、依赖、可逆性、成本、反馈速度和最早可证伪点;不要为了形式凑路线。

5. Constraints

记录真实硬约束与软偏好,例如时间、资金、隐私、本地优先、供应商独立、设备可用性和维护负担。标明来源及是否仍有效。

6. Blockers

阻点是当前不能前进的具体因果条件,不是“还没做”。区分外部阻点、知识阻点、决策阻点和执行阻点,并写出解除它所需证据。

7. Evidence

把支持或反驳路线的观察连到真实工作。证据既包括成功,也包括失败、用户纠正和未达到的验收标准。历史管理标签只作辅助,不替代事实。

8. Uncertainty

列出会改变路线选择的关键未知、置信度和影响范围。不要把所有不确定性都变成任务;优先处理决策价值高的未知。

9. Next information action

指定一个最小动作,用最少成本减少最关键未知。它应写清:要观察什么、结果 A/B 分别意味着什么、何时停止。单纯“继续研究”不合格。

10. Active bet

明确当前正在押注的路线、为何此刻值得押、投入上限、预期反馈时间和失败信号。一次只保留少量真实 active bets,避免把愿望清单都标为进行中。

11. Switch criteria

写明哪些可观测证据触发切换路线,以及切换到哪条候选路线。不要因一次挫折就切换,也不要因沉没成本永远坚持。

12. Pause criteria

写明资源冲突、外部依赖或信息不足到何种程度应暂缓;暂停时保留恢复条件和最小维护动作。

13. Abandon criteria

写明什么证据说明 summit 本身不再值得、不可行或与更高优先级方向冲突。达到条件仍属于高风险决策,只提出并请求用户确认,不自动放弃。

14. Checkpoints and reflection

checkpoint 记录“发生了什么、什么预期被验证/反驳、对路线意味着什么、下一信息动作”。reflection 审计判断质量,不用励志措辞遮盖停滞。保留日期和来源,但不复制完整项目日志。

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.

second-brain-climb is a skill published in the GitHub repository YusenZhang0601/context-canopy (2 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 114 tokens to every session and 1,706 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
