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

project-coach-setup-base 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 165 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Coach Setup

Workflow

  1. Check for existing Project-Goals.md
  2. Ask setup questions (one at a time, stop when user signals enough detail)
  3. Generate Project-Goals.md artifact
  4. Provide handoff instructions

Step 1: Check for Existing Setup

Search for Project-Goals.md:

find /mnt/user-data/uploads -name "Project-Goals.md" 2>/dev/null

If found: Offer to revise (generate new version, user replaces old file) If not found: Proceed with setup


Step 2: Setup Questions

Ask one question at a time. Stop when user signals enough detail or you have minimum viable info (primary focus + timezone).

Essential questions:

  1. Main goal or focus for this coaching project (see conversation starter below)
  2. Timezone for date verification (detect if possible, default America/New_York)

Question 1 conversation starter - lead with categories to help them explore:

Let's figure out what you want to focus on. Most people use this for something in one of these areas:

  • Health & Fitness - running, exercise, weight, sleep, yoga, walking
  • Habits & Lifestyle - eating better, cooking, journaling, less screen time/doomscrolling, work-life balance
  • Personal Growth - learning something new, reading, meditation, getting organized
  • Relationships - more time with family/friends, travel
  • Money & Career - saving, budgeting, work performance

Which area calls to you? Or if you already have something specific in mind, just tell me!

If they pick a category, help them get specific with examples:

  • Health & Fitness → "Cool! Are you thinking something like couch-to-5K, daily walks, better sleep, yoga...?"
  • Habits & Lifestyle → "Nice! Cooking more? Journaling? Cutting back on screen time or doomscrolling? Something else?"
  • Personal Growth → "Great! Learning a language, instrument, skill? Reading more? Meditation practice?"
  • etc.

If they already know what they want, skip straight to confirming and move on.

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.
