help

A help and environment-check command for the Saddle coding-agent plugin. It checks whether the Saddle service is reachable and explains the plugin's memory features and slash commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to diagnose setup problems, check the service health, and learn how to run, validate, or list Saddle workflows.
Why use it?
It shows whether the required service is running and gives a quick reference for the plugin's available commands and settings.

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.

Per session 7 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 330 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

help scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

You are helping the user verify the Saddle Claude Code plugin.

Requirements

  1. saddle serve must be running in the project (default http://127.0.0.1:1995).
  2. Optional env vars (shell or .env next to this plugin): SADDLE_BASE_URL, SADDLE_GROUP_ID, SADDLE_USER_ID. Set SADDLE_DISABLE=1 to turn hooks off.

Check health

curl -s "${SADDLE_BASE_URL:-http://127.0.0.1:1995}/health"

Explain that this plugin stores conversation snippets in the local Saddle Memory API (POST /api/v1/memories) and retrieves them on submit (POST /api/v1/memories/search). For HTTP details see the Saddle repo docs/PLUGIN_HTTP.md.

Slash commands

  • /saddle:help — this help
  • /saddle:modes — list mode names from the API
  • /saddle:validate — validate the default mode (requires python -m saddle on PATH)
  • /saddle:run — run the default pipeline (saddle run) via POST /api/v1/pipeline/run (requires saddle serve); see commands/run.md

Present a short status: if curl fails, tell the user to start python -m saddle serve from the project root.

Changes

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.

help is a command published in the GitHub repository deepelementlab/saddle (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 7 tokens to every session and 330 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
