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

gsd:surface 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 1mo 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.

Sub-command routing

Parse the first token of $ARGUMENTS:

Token Action
list Show enabled + disabled clusters and skills
status Alias for list plus token cost summary
profile <name> Write baseProfile and re-stage
profile <n1>,<n2> Composed profiles (comma-separated, no spaces)
disable <cluster> Add cluster to disabledClusters, re-stage
enable <cluster> Remove cluster from disabledClusters, re-stage
reset Delete .gsd-surface.json, return to install-time profile
(none) Treat as list

list / status

Call listSurface(runtimeConfigDir, manifest, CLUSTERS) from get-shit-done/bin/lib/surface.cjs. Display:

Enabled (N skills, ~T tokens):
  core_loop:   new-project  discuss-phase  plan-phase  execute-phase  help  update
  audit_review: …
  …

Disabled:
  utility:  health  stats  settings  …

Token cost: ~T (budget cap ~500 tokens for 200k context @ 1%)

For status also append:

Base profile:   standard  (from .gsd-surface.json)
Install profile: standard  (from .gsd-profile)

profile <name>

  1. Read current surface: readSurface(runtimeConfigDir) → if null, seed from readActiveProfile(runtimeConfigDir).
  2. Set surfaceState.baseProfile = name.
  3. writeSurface(runtimeConfigDir, surfaceState).
  4. Resolve and re-apply: applySurface(runtimeConfigDir, commandsDir, agentsDir, manifest, CLUSTERS).
  5. Confirm: "Surface updated to profile <name>. N skills enabled."

disable <cluster>

Valid cluster names: core_loop, audit_review, milestone, research_ideate, workspace_state, docs, ui, ai_eval, ns_meta, utility.

  1. Validate cluster name against Object.keys(CLUSTERS).
  2. Read or initialize surface state.
  3. Add cluster to surfaceState.disabledClusters (deduplicate).
  4. writeSurface → applySurface.
  5. Confirm: "Disabled cluster <cluster>. N skills removed from surface."

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.
