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

refresh-skills 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

Force a fresh sync of the DeepVista skill catalog, bypassing the throttle, and report what changed.

Run:

DEEPVISTA_FORCE_SYNC=1 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/deepvista-sync.sh
deepvista skill sync --target "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills" --force --dry-run

Report to the user:

  • Skills — added / updated / removed stubs under ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/.

Claude Code's live change detection picks up new stubs in the current session: skills appear in /skills as "locked by plugin".

If the first command prints "deepvista CLI not on PATH", tell the user to install the DeepVista CLI (uv tool install deepvista-cli) and authenticate (deepvista auth login), then run /refresh-skills again.

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.
