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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00216 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00108 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00043 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00022 |
Grade A, and why
start 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 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.
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
The backchannel CLI output below contains the room link(s). You MUST print that output to the user verbatim and in full, including every complete link character-for-character (the whole https://…/r/…#k=… string, fragment included). The links are the entire purpose of this command — reproducing them is mandatory and non-negotiable.
- Do NOT summarize, paraphrase, shorten, describe, or omit the links.
- Do NOT replace a link with a sentence about it.
- It is fine to add a one-line note after, but the full links must appear first.
- A display name is REQUIRED. If it is missing, the CLI prints a usage error — relay that verbatim instead.

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.

start is a command published in the GitHub repository j-ronk/backchannel (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 216 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.

Global shortcuts do not use the renderer command registry. Electron main registers them with globalShortcut.register, so they can run while the app is unfocused.
