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

paste 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

Paste from Clipboard

Read the current content from the system clipboard and display it.

Instructions

Detect the platform and read the clipboard using the appropriate command:

if command -v pbpaste &>/dev/null; then
  pbpaste
elif command -v wl-paste &>/dev/null; then
  wl-paste
elif command -v xclip &>/dev/null; then
  xclip -selection clipboard -o
elif command -v powershell.exe &>/dev/null; then
  powershell.exe -command "Get-Clipboard"
else
  echo "No clipboard command found"
  exit 1
fi

After reading, display the clipboard content to the user. If the user provided additional instructions via $ARGUMENTS, apply them to the clipboard content (e.g., "paste and format as JSON").

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.
