help

help is a command for coding agents from AR6420/Hail_Hydra. It costs 13 tokens per session (575 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that displays a quick reference for Hydra's available commands and agents. Hydra is a framework that delegates coding tasks to specialized agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to look up commands for status, updates, security scans, codebase mapping, reports, preflight checks, statistics, and task control.
Why use it?
It gives you the names and purposes of the available tools without requiring you to search project files.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

help 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 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.

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.

🐉 Hydra Framework — Quick Reference
═══════════════════════════════════════
COMMANDS
  /hydra:help      Show this help screen
  /hydra:status    Show installed agents, version, config
  /hydra:update    Update Hydra to the latest version
  /hydra:guard     Run security scan on files (usage: /hydra:guard src/auth.py)
  /hydra:quiet     Suppress dispatch logs for this session
  /hydra:map       View, rebuild, or query the codebase map
  /hydra:report    Report a bug, request a feature, or share feedback
  /hydra:preflight Two-phase environment & compatibility check before new projects
  /hydra:stats     Show real token usage and estimated savings (no AI estimation)
  /hydra:stfu      Silence intermediate prose from every dispatched subagent

AGENTS
  🟢 hydra-scout         (cheap tier) — Explore codebase, find files, map structure
  🟢 hydra-runner        (cheap tier) — Run tests, linters, build commands
  🟢 hydra-scribe        (cheap tier) — Write docs, comments, READMEs
  🟢 hydra-guard         (cheap tier) — Security scan, quality gate
  🟢 hydra-git           (cheap tier) — Git operations, commits, branches
  🟢 hydra-preflight     (cheap tier) — Environment detection, version probing, dep inventory
  🟢 hydra-sentinel-scan (cheap tier) — Fast integration sweep after code changes
  🔵 hydra-coder         (mid tier)   — Write and edit code
  🔵 hydra-analyst       (mid tier)   — Debug, diagnose, review
  🔵 hydra-sentinel      (mid tier)   — Deep integration analysis (when scan flags issues)

  The concrete model behind each tier depends on the host CLI you installed on.

HOW IT WORKS
  The orchestrator automatically delegates tasks to cheaper, faster
  agents in the cheap and mid tiers — saving ~50% on API costs while
  the orchestrator verifies quality.

  You don't need to do anything. Just work normally.
  Hydra operates invisibly unless you check the dispatch log.

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.

help is a command published in the GitHub repository AR6420/Hail_Hydra (48 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 575 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
