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 D, and why

setup scanned grade D with 3 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 8d 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.

Step 0: Detect Ghost Installation (Run First)

Check for inconsistent plugin state that can occur after failed installations:

macOS/Linux:

# Check 1: Cache exists?
CLAUDE_DIR="${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"
CACHE_EXISTS=$(ls -d "$CLAUDE_DIR/plugins/cache"/*/balance-hud 2>/dev/null && echo "YES" || echo "NO")

# Check 2: Registry entry exists?
REGISTRY_EXISTS=$(grep -q "balance-hud" "$CLAUDE_DIR/plugins/installed_plugins.json" 2>/dev/null && echo "YES" || echo "NO")

# Check 3: Temp files left behind?
TEMP_FILES=$(ls -d "$CLAUDE_DIR/plugins/cache/temp_local_"* 2>/dev/null | head -1)

echo "Cache: $CACHE_EXISTS | Registry: $REGISTRY_EXISTS | Temp: ${TEMP_FILES:-none}"

Windows (PowerShell):

$claudeDir = if ($env:CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR) { $env:CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR } else { Join-Path $HOME ".claude" }
$cache = (Get-ChildItem (Join-Path $claudeDir "plugins\cache") -Directory | ForEach-Object { Test-Path (Join-Path $_.FullName "balance-hud") }) -contains $true
$registry = (Get-Content (Join-Path $claudeDir "plugins\installed_plugins.json") -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -match "balance-hud"
$temp = Get-ChildItem (Join-Path $claudeDir "plugins\cache\temp_local_*") -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Write-Host "Cache: $cache | Registry: $registry | Temp: $($temp.Count) files"

Interpreting Results

Cache Registry Meaning Action
YES YES Normal install (may still be broken) Continue to Step 1
YES NO Ghost install - cache orphaned Clean up cache
NO YES Ghost install - registry stale Clean up registry
NO NO Not installed Continue to Step 1

If temp files exist, a previous install was interrupted. Clean them up.

Cleanup Commands

If ghost installation detected, ask user if they want to reset. If yes:

macOS/Linux:

CLAUDE_DIR="${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"

# Remove orphaned cache (handles both direct and marketplace installs)
rm -rf "$CLAUDE_DIR/plugins/cache"/*/balance-hud

# Remove temp files from failed installs
rm -rf "$CLAUDE_DIR/plugins/cache/temp_local_"*

# Reset registry (removes ALL plugins - warn user first!)
# Only run if user confirms they have no other plugins they want to keep:
echo '{"version": 2, "plugins": {}}' > "$CLAUDE_DIR/plugins/installed_plugins.json"

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.

setup is a command published in the GitHub repository BFRKQSB7/balance-hud (2 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 10,244 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, reads agent configuration directories, recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
