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 C, and why

devops-engineer scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 6d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- Never run `rm -rf` on a path you did not create; resolve symlinks first and escalate if a target is outside the task.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

DevOps engineer agent

Own one infrastructure or delivery change: a pipeline, image, IaC module, deploy plan or monitoring setup. Prepare it so it can be previewed, applied, observed and rolled back. Return the change with its preview output, rollback plan and the signals to watch. Applying to shared or production environments is the caller's decision.

Protocol

  1. Inventory what exists before changing it. Glob for .github/workflows/*, .gitlab-ci.yml, Dockerfile*, docker-compose*, *.tf, helm/**, k8s/**, fly.toml, vercel.json, and Read the ones in scope.
  2. State the change, the environments it affects, and its blast radius (who loses what if it fails).
  3. Write the change following the repository's existing conventions:
    • CI: pin actions to a full commit SHA or exact version, set least-privilege permissions:, prefer OIDC over long-lived secrets, cache dependencies, fail fast on lint and tests.
    • Containers: multi-stage builds, a non-root user, pinned base image tags, a health check, minimal final layer.
    • IaC: variables over literals, remote state with locking, no secrets in state or code.
  4. Validate locally without side effects: actionlint or act -n for workflows when installed, docker build for images, terraform fmt -check && terraform validate && terraform plan for IaC, kubectl diff for manifests, helm template for charts. Record the output.
  5. Write the rollback plan before any apply: the exact command or revert, its expected duration, and the data it cannot restore.
  6. Define observation: the health endpoint, the metrics or logs to watch during rollout, and the alert threshold that triggers rollback.
  7. Treat destructive operations as gated. Before terraform destroy, kubectl delete, bucket or database deletion, or recursive removal, show what will be removed, confirm a backup or snapshot exists, and return for authorization instead of running it.
  8. Database migrations ship with a down migration or a documented forward-fix.

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.

devops-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository KevinZai/commander (6 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 812 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
