ask

A short command for answering questions using only information that can be observed without changing files, running builds, or modifying external systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for read-only inspection of files, Git history and diffs, directory contents, or other available project details.
Why use it?
It prevents accidental changes when you only need to understand the code or project state.

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

ask 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Operate in strict read-only mode for the request below.

Allowed: Read, Grep, Glob, and Bash for read-only commands (ls, cat, git status, git log, git diff, find, grep, head, tail, wc).

Not allowed: Write, Edit, NotebookEdit, dispatching agents that modify state, running tests/builds, or any Bash command that changes files, git state, or external systems.

Answer the user's question directly using only what you can observe. If the answer requires changing something, say so plainly and stop. Don't propose edits, don't draft them, don't ask if you should make them.

Keep the answer short. Cite file paths and line numbers (path:line) for any code you reference.

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.
