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

check-vulns 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 4d 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

Check all package-lock.json files for known npm vulnerabilities using npm audit (GitHub Advisory Database).

Check

Run ./scripts/check-vulns.sh --force to bypass cache and scan now.

Then read the digest at .claude/.update-cache/vulns-digest.md and present findings to the user, organized by severity. Highlight:

  1. Any new vulnerabilities since last scan
  2. Fix recommendations (quick fixes vs major bumps)
  3. Acknowledged vulns that are being tracked but suppressed

Acknowledge Known Vulns

If the user wants to suppress session-start alerts for vulns that cannot be fixed yet (e.g., requires a semver-major bump):

  1. Run ./scripts/check-vulns.sh --acknowledge <GHSA-URL> where the URL is from the digest
  2. The vuln still appears in the digest but won't trigger session-start alerts
  3. Acknowledgements auto-clear when the vuln is resolved

Fix Vulns

For quick fixes:

  • Run npm audit fix in the affected directory
  • Verify tests pass: npm test
  • Commit lock file changes

For major-bump fixes:

  • Cross-reference with /check-deps for the same package
  • Review changelog and breaking changes before upgrading
  • Apply with npm install package@latest

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.
