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

setup 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

What it actually says

Setup Provider Keys

Configure and save API keys for providers to ~/.claude/provider-keys.json.

Steps

  1. Read existing keys from ~/.claude/provider-keys.json if the file exists (use Read tool, handle file not found gracefully)

  2. Determine which provider to configure:

    • If an argument was provided (e.g., zai), configure that provider
    • If no argument, ask the user which provider(s) they want to configure. Options: zai, kimi, minimax
  3. For each provider to configure:

    • Ask the user for their API key
    • Add or update the key in the keys object under the provider name
  4. Write the updated keys to ~/.claude/provider-keys.json:

    {
      "zai": "key-here",
      "kimi": "sk-key-here",
      "minimax": "key-here"
    }
    
  5. Set permissions using Bash: chmod 600 ~/.claude/provider-keys.json

  6. Confirm which providers were configured and remind the user they can now switch with /switch-provider:<provider>

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.
