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 B, and why

gh-cli-status scanned grade B 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 4d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

What it actually says

Check the GitHub CLI security guard status.

Tasks:

  1. Read ~/.claude/settings.json and check githubWriteGuard.enabled status (defaults to enabled if not set)
  2. Display the status

Output format:

🛡️ GitHub CLI Security Guard

Status: [ENABLED/DISABLED]

The security guard blocks all GitHub CLI write operations:
- Repository modifications (create, delete, archive)
- PR/Issue changes (create, merge, close)
- API write methods (POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE)
- Workflow operations (run, cancel)

Read operations are always allowed.

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.
