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

metaswarm-update-version 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 8d 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.

Update Metaswarm

Update metaswarm to the latest version, refresh component files, and re-detect project context.

Usage

/metaswarm-update-version

Steps

1. Check Current Version

  • Read .metaswarm/project-profile.json and extract metaswarm_version
  • If the file doesn't exist, stop and tell the user:

    No project profile found. Run /metaswarm-setup first to initialize metaswarm.

  • Display the current version to the user

2. Fetch Latest Version

  • Run npm view metaswarm version to get the latest published version
  • Compare current vs. latest:
    • If current == latest: tell the user they're already up to date and stop
    • If current < latest: continue to the next step

3. Show What's New

  • Run npx metaswarm@latest changelog --from <current-version> to show changes between versions
  • If that fails, try npx metaswarm@latest changelog and filter entries after the current version
  • Highlight any BREAKING CHANGES prominently if present
  • Show a summary of new features, fixes, and new components

4. Update Files

  • Run npx metaswarm@latest install to refresh all component files
  • This uses skip-if-exists semantics — user customizations in CLAUDE.md, agents, etc. are preserved
  • New files (new skills, commands, agents, guides) will be added
  • Existing metaswarm-shipped files will be refreshed to latest versions

5. Re-detect Project Context

  • Re-run project detection from the setup flow:
    • Language, framework, test runner, linter, formatter, package manager, type checker, CI, git hooks
  • Compare new detection results against detection in the existing project profile
  • If changes are detected (e.g., project switched from Jest to Vitest):
    • Show what changed
    • Ask user if they want to re-customize affected files (e.g., update coverage commands in CLAUDE.md)
    • If yes, apply the same customization logic from /metaswarm-setup

6. Update Project Profile

  • Update .metaswarm/project-profile.json:
    • metaswarm_version → set to new version
    • updated_at → set to current ISO 8601 timestamp
    • detection → refresh if project context changed (preserve if unchanged)
  • Preserve all other fields (installed_at, choices, commands, etc.)

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.
