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

using-powerups 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.

What it actually says

using-powerups

Purpose: Find and apply installed Agent Powerups without guessing.

Use this prompt when starting non-trivial work in a repo where Agent Powerups may be installed.

Steps:

  1. Discover or match available assets:
    • Claude Code: start with native skill discovery when skills are already exposed by the host.
    • Codex, Gemini, and generic agents: start with apx discover.
    • Use apx discover when uncertain or when the task may need non-skill assets.
    • Use apx inventory for MCP configs, hooks, AGENTS.md templates, plugin-contained assets, staged assets, and installed-only assets.
    • apx discover "<user task>" --target <codex|claude-code|gemini|generic>
    • apx inventory --target <codex|claude-code|gemini|generic> --json
    • apx list --json --verbose
  2. Pick the narrowest asset that matches the user task.
  3. Inspect it before using:
    • apx info <asset-name>
    • read the asset file when needed
  4. Run apx check <asset-name> only when the asset declares external requirements or its instructions require a dependency check.
  5. If a dependency is missing, stop that path and report the exact missing tool. Ask before installing anything.
  6. Apply the asset only within the user-requested scope.
  7. Report which powerup was used, whether a dependency check was needed, validation run, and any fallback.

Do not enable MCP servers, install packages, mutate shell profiles, activate hooks, or write secrets unless the user explicitly asks.

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.
