nip

nip is a command for Claude Code from vitorpamplona/amethyst. It costs 7 tokens per session (207 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for looking up NIPs, which are written specifications for the Nostr protocol, a system for exchanging signed messages through relays.

In plain words
What is it for?
Explaining a chosen NIP's events, fields, tags, and message flow, then giving implementation guidance and checking Quartz code for existing support.
Why use it?
It gathers the protocol details and connects them to the codebase, reducing the work of checking a specification and locating related implementation code.

Command for Claude Code

About the project

Amethyst is an Android client for Nostr, a social network protocol that lets people control their own social activity and connections. People use it to read and publish Nostr content, follow accounts, and exchange encrypted direct messages from Android and other supported platforms. The catalogue add-ons support workflows for developing or operating the client.

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

nip 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 5d 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

Fetch and explain NIP-$ARGUMENTS from the Nostr protocol:

  1. Get the specification from https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/$ARGUMENTS.md

  2. Show key details:

    • Event kind(s) used
    • Required and optional fields
    • Tag structure
    • Message flow between client and relay
  3. Check implementation status in Quartz:

    grep -r "NIP-$ARGUMENTS\|nip$ARGUMENTS\|kind.*=" quartz/src/
    
  4. Provide implementation guidance:

    • Which Quartz classes to use or create
    • Event construction example
    • Relay subscription filters
    • Verification/validation logic

Example Usage

/nip 01    # Basic protocol
/nip 44    # Versioned encryption
/nip 57    # Zaps

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.
