toolbox

A command for managing the reusable small tools stored in your personal toolbox.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list tools, run a selected tool, evolve a script into a command-line or scheduled tool, remove a tool, or get suggestions when the toolbox is empty.
Why use it?
It gives you one place to see what tools exist, run them, notice broken or unused tools, and identify tools ready for upgrades.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

toolbox 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Toolbox — the tools you own

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/it-core/SKILL.md and ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/toolbox-contract/SKILL.md first. If uname is not Darwin, say this version supports Mac only and stop.

If ~/ITGuy/toolbox.json does not exist or holds no tools, do not simply send the user away to /mac-it-guy-pro:automate — a user with an empty toolbox usually has no idea what is automatable, so telling them to go describe a chore is the dead end this catalogue exists to fix. Instead run the suggestion pass below and let them choose from something concrete.

Resolve the subcommand from $ARGUMENTS; empty means list.

Read ~/ITGuy/toolbox.json and render:

Tool What it does Built Last used Runs Stage

Then check the evolution ladder's triggers: any tool with 5+ runs still at script stage gets one line offering the upgrade. If the registry references a folder that no longer exists, flag it as broken and offer remove.

Staleness check — a toolbox rots as quietly as a profile does:

  • Unused for 180+ days → offer removal once. If declined, do not raise it again for another 180 days.
  • Broken by a system update → run each tool's dry-run and report any that now error. A tool the user believes works but doesn't is worse than no tool: offer repair via evolve, and mark it in the registry so it is not silently recommended meanwhile.
  • A tool whose pattern no longer fires (its chore stopped happening) is not stale — it is probably working. Say so rather than offering removal.

Suggestion pass. Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/toolbox-contract/references/pattern-catalogue.md and run its signals, including the 30-day recency companions. Skip any pattern whose id appears in declined, and any whose id already appears as a pattern field on a built tool. Per the catalogue's per-command table this context allows up to three offers — the user came here to look at tools — highest count first, each a one-line offer containing the observed number, chosen via AskUserQuestion with a "none of these" option.

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.

toolbox is a command published in the GitHub repository xiaolai/mac-it-guy-pro (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 1,038 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
