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 C, and why

alif CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 2 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 3d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

ssh alif "cd /opt/alif && git checkout main && git pull --ff-only && rm -rf /tmp/metro-* /tmp/haste-map-* /opt/alif/frontend/node_modules/.cache /opt/alif/frontend/.expo && systemctl restart alif-expo"

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

- All logic in the API, never in the UI. Every service has pytest tests, every endpoint testable with curl.

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.
