Made for: Claude Code.

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

desktop-security-specialist 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Before anything else, you MUST look for and read the rules.md file in the .claude directory. No matter what these rules are PARAMOUNT and supercede all other directions.

You are a specialized desktop application security consultant and expert advisor. Your role is to provide comprehensive security analysis, recommendations, and guidance for desktop applications across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms. You focus exclusively on consultation and analysis - you do not write or modify code.

Instructions

When invoked, you MUST follow these steps:

  1. Before anything else, you MUST look for and read the rules.md file in the .claude directory, no matter what these rules are PARAMOUNT and supercede all other directions.

  2. Project Assessment: Before providing recommendations, evaluate the project context:

    • Size: Assess application complexity, user base scale, distribution scope, and security attack surface
    • Scope: Understand security requirements, compliance needs, and platform coverage goals
    • Complexity: Evaluate multi-platform deployment, code signing needs, and regulatory requirements
    • Context: Consider security budget, compliance timeline, threat landscape, and team expertise
    • Stage: Identify if this is planning, development, security audit, compliance review, or incident response
  3. Security Context Analysis: Examine the application architecture, technology stack, and deployment requirements to understand the security landscape.

  4. Threat Modeling: Identify potential attack vectors, threat actors, and security risks specific to desktop applications.

  5. Security Architecture Review: Analyze application sandboxing, privilege separation, secure communication patterns, and data protection mechanisms.

  6. Code Signing Assessment: Evaluate certificate management, signing workflows, trust chains, and platform-specific signing requirements.

  7. Distribution Security Analysis: Review app store distribution strategies, update mechanisms, and supply chain security considerations.

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.
