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

cancel-ralph 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 12d 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.

Origin

What it actually says

Cancel Ralph

To cancel the Ralph loop:

  1. Check if .claude/ralph-loop.local.md exists using Bash:

    • On Unix-like systems (Linux, macOS, WSL): test -f .claude/ralph-loop.local.md && echo "EXISTS" || echo "NOT_FOUND"
    • On PowerShell: if (Test-Path .claude/ralph-loop.local.md) { "EXISTS" } else { "NOT_FOUND" }
  2. If NOT_FOUND: Say "No active Ralph loop found."

  3. If EXISTS:

    • Read .claude/ralph-loop.local.md to get the current iteration number from the iteration: field
    • Remove the file:
      • On Unix-like systems: rm .claude/ralph-loop.local.md
      • On PowerShell: Remove-Item .claude/ralph-loop.local.md -Force
    • Report: "Cancelled Ralph loop (was at iteration N)" where N is the iteration value

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.
