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

local_review 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

Local Review

You are tasked with setting up a local review environment for a colleague's branch. This involves creating a worktree, setting up dependencies, and launching a new Claude Code session.

Process

When invoked with a parameter like gh_username:branchName:

  1. Parse the input:

    • Extract GitHub username and branch name from the format username:branchname
    • If no parameter provided, ask for it in the format: gh_username:branchName
  2. Extract ticket information:

    • Look for ticket numbers in the branch name (e.g., eng-1696, ENG-1696)
    • Use this to create a short worktree directory name
    • If no ticket found, use a sanitized version of the branch name
  3. Set up the remote and worktree:

    • Check if the remote already exists using git remote -v
    • If not, add it: git remote add USERNAME [email protected]:USERNAME/humanlayer
    • Fetch from the remote: git fetch USERNAME
    • Create worktree: git worktree add -b BRANCHNAME ~/wt/humanlayer/SHORT_NAME USERNAME/BRANCHNAME
  4. Configure the worktree:

    • Copy Claude settings: cp .claude/settings.local.json WORKTREE/.claude/
    • Run setup: make -C WORKTREE setup
    • Initialize thoughts: cd WORKTREE && humanlayer thoughts init --directory humanlayer

Error Handling

  • If worktree already exists, inform the user they need to remove it first
  • If remote fetch fails, check if the username/repo exists
  • If setup fails, provide the error but continue with the launch

Example Usage

/local_review samdickson22:sam/eng-1696-hotkey-for-yolo-mode

This will:

  • Add 'samdickson22' as a remote
  • Create worktree at ~/wt/humanlayer/eng-1696
  • Set up the environment

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.
