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

aurora 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

Read and follow the aurora/SKILL.md file that lives in this Aurora plugin's install directory - the same plugin directory that contains this commands/aurora.md file. Resolve the path relative to this command file's own location inside ~/.claude/plugins/<plugin>/aurora-smart-home/, NOT relative to the user's current working directory. The user is almost always sitting in a different project (where they want a smart home thing built) and that project will not contain an aurora/ folder. If you cannot find aurora/SKILL.md next to this command file, the Aurora plugin install is broken - say so directly rather than offering to create the file in the user's working project.

Once aurora/SKILL.md is loaded, start with the banner display and the opening question per the instructions in that file.

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.
