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

organize 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.

What it actually says

Organize the folder the user asked about: $ARGUMENTS

Run the carrel CLI via Bash. Map the user's request onto the real flags in the --help block below (regenerated from the CLI by scripts/sync_plugins.py; if the installed carrel organize --help differs, trust the installed version — never invent flags):

Usage: carrel organize [OPTIONS] DIRECTORY

  Plan (default) or perform (--apply) sorting DIRECTORY's files.

  Only files directly inside DIRECTORY are considered; subdirectories and hidden files stay put.
  Existing files are never overwritten — colliding names get a -1, -2, … suffix. JSON output is a
  list of {src, dest, action} ('move' planned, 'moved' executed, 'skip').

  --apply refuses (exit 2) when it would move files git is tracking, where a new path breaks
  imports, tests and history; --allow-tracked overrides. Untracked files inside a repository are
  fine.

Options:
  --by [type|date|exif-date]  Grouping: 'type' -> pdf/, images/ (jpg, png, ico), data/ (json, xml,
                              csv), docs/ (md, txt, html), mail/ (eml, mbox); 'date' -> YYYY/MM from
                              mtime; 'exif-date' -> YYYY/MM from EXIF DateTimeOriginal, mtime
                              fallback (images only; other files are skipped).  [default: type]
  --into CATEGORY=DIR         Override a type category's destination subdir, e.g. --into images=pics
                              (only with --by type; repeatable).
  --apply / --dry-run         Execute the moves. Default is a dry-run that only prints the plan.
  --allow-tracked             Move files even when they are tracked by git (see the description).
  --force                     Deprecated spelling of --allow-tracked; warns when it bypasses the
                              guard.
  --json                      Machine-readable JSON output.
  --help                      Show this message and exit.

Note: --json is a global flag and may come before the subcommand.

  • --by type (default): subdirs like pdf/, images/, data/, docs/; date: YYYY/MM from mtime; exif-date: EXIF DateTimeOriginal with mtime fallback (images only).
  • --into CATEGORY=DIR: override a category's subdirectory name (type mode only; categories: pdf, images, data, docs — e.g. --into images=pics). Repeatable.
  • Dry-run is the default. ALWAYS run the dry-run first, show the user the planned moves {src, dest, action}, and only re-run with --apply after they confirm (or when they already asked to "actually move" things). Collisions get -1, -2 suffixes; nothing is ever overwritten.

If the installed carrel predates organize (its --help reports no such command), say so and offer manual organization (list files with carrel inspect/Glob, propose moves) instead of guessing flags.

Report afterwards: how many files moved where, and any collisions renamed.

Requires the carrel CLI on PATH. If carrel is not found, tell the user to install it with uv tool install carrel (see the repo's INSTALL notes), or run it as uv run carrel ... from the carrel repo root.

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.
