toon-encode

A command that converts JSON data into TOON version 2.0 format using a Zig-based encoder. JSON is a common structured data format, while TOON is the output format used by this command.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to convert a JSON file, select comma, tab, or pipe separators, enable or disable key folding, or inspect whether the data is suitable without converting it.
Why use it?
It avoids manually rewriting structured data and lets you choose delimiters or key-folding behavior during conversion.

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

toon-encode 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.

TOON Encode

Convert JSON to TOON v2.0 format using the Zig encoder.

Usage: /toon-encode <file> [options]

Options:

  • --delimiter comma|tab|pipe - Delimiter choice (default: comma)
  • --key-folding - Enable key folding (default: on)
  • --no-key-folding - Disable key folding
  • --check-only - Just analyze, don't convert

Execute the following workflow:

1. Validate Input

FILE="$1"

if [[ -z "$FILE" ]]; then
  echo "Usage: /toon-encode <file> [options]"
  echo "Example: /toon-encode data.json --delimiter tab"
  exit 1
fi

if [[ ! -f "$FILE" ]]; then
  echo "❌ Error: File not found: $FILE"
  exit 1
fi

if [[ ! "$FILE" =~ \.json$ ]]; then
  echo "⚠️  Warning: File doesn't have .json extension"
  read -p "Continue? (y/n) " -n 1 -r
  echo
  if [[ ! $REPLY =~ ^[Yy]$ ]]; then
    exit 0
  fi
fi

echo "✓ Input: $FILE"

2. Check Suitability (if --check-only)

if [[ "$2" == "--check-only" ]]; then
  echo "Analyzing data..."
  .claude/utils/toon/zig-out/bin/toon check "$FILE"
  exit $?
fi

3. Parse Options

DELIMITER="comma"
KEY_FOLDING="--key-folding"
OUTPUT="${FILE%.json}.toon"

while [[ $# -gt 1 ]]; do
  case "$2" in
    --delimiter)
      DELIMITER="$3"
      shift 2
      ;;
    --no-key-folding)
      KEY_FOLDING=""
      shift
      ;;
    --key-folding)
      KEY_FOLDING="--key-folding"
      shift
      ;;
    *)
      shift
      ;;
  esac
done

echo "⚙️  Configuration:"
echo "  Delimiter: $DELIMITER"
echo "  Key folding: ${KEY_FOLDING:-disabled}"
echo "  Output: $OUTPUT"

4. Check Zig Binary

TOON_BIN=".claude/utils/toon/zig-out/bin/toon"

if [[ ! -f "$TOON_BIN" ]]; then
  echo "❌ Zig binary not found. Building..."
  echo ""
  cd .claude/utils/toon
  zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast
  cd -
  echo ""
  echo "✓ Build complete"
fi

5. Convert

echo ""
echo "Converting..."

$TOON_BIN encode "$FILE" \
  --delimiter "$DELIMITER" \
  $KEY_FOLDING \
  > "$OUTPUT"

if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
  echo "✓ Conversion successful"
else
  echo "❌ Conversion failed"
  exit 1
fi

toon-encode is a command published in the GitHub repository ukkit/memcord (72 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,035 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.
