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 | $0.00000 | $0.01610 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00805 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00322 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00161 |
Grade A, and why
cache 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 169 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
cache
crabbox cache inspects, purges, or warms package and build caches on a
leased box. Caches are a speed optimization layered on top of the synced
worktree; the worktree stays authoritative, so cache state is always safe
to clear.
crabbox cache stats --id swift-crab
crabbox cache stats --id swift-crab --json
crabbox cache volumes
crabbox cache warm --id swift-crab -- pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
crabbox cache purge --id swift-crab --kind pnpm --force
Subcommands
cache stats show usage for each enabled cache kind on the lease
cache list alias for cache stats
cache volumes list configured provider-backed cache volumes
cache warm run a command in the synced workdir to populate caches
cache purge delete one or all cache kinds (requires --force)
stats, list, warm, and purge resolve --id to a box and connect over SSH. --id
accepts the canonical cbx_... lease ID or an active friendly slug
(for example swift-crab). If you omit the flag, stats and purge
fall back to the first positional argument.
Resolving a lease also touches it (resetting the idle timer) and binds
the lease to the current repo via a local claim. If the lease is already
claimed by a different repo checkout, add --reclaim to move the claim.
These commands operate over SSH, so they apply to SSH-lease providers.
On Windows leases running in windows.mode=normal, remote cache stats
report as unsupported and cache purge exits with an error.
Cache kinds
pnpm /var/cache/crabbox/pnpm
npm /var/cache/crabbox/npm
git /var/cache/crabbox/git (shared origin objects)
docker Docker layer/image cache (reported via docker system df)
Repo config toggles cache.pnpm, cache.npm, cache.docker, and
cache.git control which kinds are enabled. Disabled kinds are omitted
from stats, are not removed by purge --kind all, and purging a
disabled specific kind fails early with cache kind "<kind>" is disabled by config.
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.

cache is a command published in the GitHub repository openclaw/crabbox (1,343 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,610 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.

checklist
Generate a custom checklist for the current feature based on user requirements.
clarify
Identify underspecified areas in the current feature spec by asking up to 5 highly targeted clarification questions and encoding answers back into the spec.
specify
Create or update the feature specification from a natural language feature description.
analyze
Perform a non-destructive cross-artifact consistency and quality analysis across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md after task generation.
converge
Assess the current codebase against the feature's spec, plan, and tasks, then append any remaining unbuilt work as new tasks to tasks.md so implement can complete it.
implement
