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

setup-preferences 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.

What it actually says

gnosys setup preferences

Review and manage user-scope preferences used by Gnosys agents.

Usage

gnosys setup preferences

Behavior

  • Opens the interactive preferences review screen.
  • Lists active user-scope memories, including native preferences and imported/unknown user memories.
  • Lets you create a new preference.
  • Lets you view, edit, keep, or delete existing preferences.
  • Returns to setup after you back out.

Writes and side effects

  • Reads active user-scope memories from the central Gnosys DB.
  • Creates or updates pref-<key> preference memories through setPreference.
  • Deletes preference memories through deletePreference, with direct delete fallback for legacy IDs.
  • Preference values are later injected into agent rules/system prompt context.

Platform notes

macOS

  • Storage: User-scope preferences live in the central Gnosys DB (~/.gnosys/gnosys.db by default).
  • Access: Same DB path whether invoked from Terminal, iTerm, or IDE-integrated terminals.

Linux

  • Storage: Same central DB under ~/.gnosys/gnosys.db (or the configured remote store when sync is enabled).
  • Access: Works from any shell session with read/write access to the Gnosys home directory.

Windows

  • Storage: Central DB under the user profile (~/.gnosys/gnosys.db).
  • Access: Run from PowerShell or cmd; ensure the Gnosys home directory is writable.

Validation

cd gnosys-public
npm run cli -- setup preferences --help
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.
