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

news-run 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 9d 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

You are manually triggering the herald v2 pipeline.

Steps

  1. Check setup: Find the herald data directory:

    cd "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}" && PYTHONPATH=. python3 -c "from herald.cli import _default_data_dir; print(_default_data_dir())"
    

    Verify config.yaml exists there (defaults to ~/.local/share/herald/; use --data-dir or HERALD_DATA_DIR to override). If not: "Run /news-init first."

  2. Run pipeline:

cd "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}" && PYTHONPATH=. python3 -m herald.cli run
  1. Show results: Run status to see what was collected:
cd "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}" && PYTHONPATH=. python3 -m herald.cli status
  1. Offer next step: "Run /news-digest to read the results."

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.
