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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00062 | $0.01003 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00031 | $0.00502 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00201 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00100 |
Grade A, and why
on 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
never-stale — resume this project (on)
on is the other half of the /never-stale:off toggle: it sets the governing
marker's "enabled" back to true, re-arming the gate for new sessions. It reuses
the languages and the sentinel-fenced CLAUDE.md block that were already there — it
asks nothing and writes no new rules.
If the project was never set up (no marker at all), there is nothing to resume — run
/never-stale:setupinstead, which asks your languages and scaffolds everything.
Project root = the path in $ARGUMENTS if given, else the current working
directory. Call it <ROOT>.
Step 1 — Find the governing marker
Walk up from <ROOT> to the nearest ancestor that carries a marker, bounded by
the git repo root (same resolution the gate uses):
- Start at
<ROOT>. At each directoryD, check forD/.claude/never-stale.local.jsonthenD/.claude/never-stale.json. - If either exists, that directory governs — stop. (A
localmarker atDoverrides ateammarker at the sameD.) - Otherwise, if
D/.gitexists, stop (repo root — no marker). - Else go up to the parent and repeat.
Read whichever marker(s) the governing directory carries. Call it <GOV>.
Step 2 — Decide what to flip
- No governing marker found → nothing to resume. Tell the user to run
/never-stale:setupto opt in, and stop. - Effective marker already
enabled: true→ already active; say so and stop. (If the effective marker is alocalone that is already enabled, the project is on regardless of any team marker — say so.) - A
localmarker governs and isenabled: false→ this is the paused/vetoing override.- If there is also a
teammarker at<GOV>(i.e. the local one was vetoing an inherited team opt-in), use AskUserQuestion to offer:- Re-enable the local override — set the local marker's
"enabled"totrue. - Drop the local override — delete
<GOV>/.claude/never-stale.local.jsonso the project falls back to the (enabled) committed team marker. Offer to remove its.gitignoreline too.
- Re-enable the local override — set the local marker's
- If there is no team marker (the local marker is the only one) → simply set the
local marker's
"enabled"totrue.
- If there is also a
- Only a
teammarker governs and isenabled: false→ set the committed<GOV>/.claude/never-stale.json"enabled"totrue. Note that, for teammates, this takes effect once committed and pulled.
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.
- 4d ago First seen · 76 lines · 62 tokens per session scan A 0e589411c4c8
on is a command published in the GitHub repository biznuts/never-stale (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 1,003 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
