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 B, and why

backup scanned grade B 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 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

What it actually says

/backup -- Push Memory to GitHub

Push local memory files to your GitHub backup repository.

Usage

bash ~/.claude/scripts/hooks/memory-backup.sh push

What it does

  1. Scan all projects -- find every ~/.claude/projects/*/memory/ directory
  2. Copy to backup repo -- mirror all .md files into the backup repo
  3. Commit -- stage and commit changes
  4. Push -- push to GitHub

Notes

  • The SessionEnd hook auto-commits locally after every conversation; this command handles the push
  • v1.6: push now auto-detects all project directories instead of hardcoding paths
  • For bidirectional sync (push + pull), use /sync instead
  • For pulling from GitHub, use /recover

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.
