ask

A command for asking Kimi a read-only question in ordinary written language.

In plain words
What is it for?
Sending a new question, resuming an ask session, starting a fresh session, or running the question in the background.
Why use it?
It lets you get an answer or continue a previous question session without asking Kimi to change files.

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

ask 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 3d 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

Run the companion with any user-supplied flags appended after ask:

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/companion.sh ask <args>

Supported flags:

  • --background — spawn as a background job and return {job_id} immediately
  • --wait — combined with --background, block until terminal state and return the rendered answer
  • -r — resume the latest ask session for the current repo; any trailing text becomes the next prompt
  • --resume <job-id-or-session-id> — resume a specific prior ask session without a new prompt payload
  • --fresh — force a new ask session id instead of reusing a prior session
  • -m, --model <name>

Kimi's extended reasoning is always on for ask. Budgets are sized for the thinking-on path (15 min) so a real session has headroom.

Return the companion stdout verbatim.

Changes

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.
