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

nyann:explain-state 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.

/nyann:explain-state

Wraps bin/explain-state.sh. Read-only. Aggregates:

  • Stack detection (language, framework, package_manager, confidence)
  • Inferred profile (from CLAUDE.md or --profile)
  • Branching strategy + base branches (from profile)
  • Hook signals (husky / pre-commit.com / nyann core)
  • CLAUDE.md presence + size + router markers
  • 5 most recent commits

Use as a first-look diagnostic before doctor (audit) or bootstrap-project (setup/retrofit).

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.
