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

caveman CLAUDE.md scanned grade A 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 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

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

The `install.sh` / `install.ps1` shims at the repo root delegate to `bin/install.js` via `node` (local clone) or `npx -y github:JuliusBrussee/caveman` (curl|bash). No legacy fallback path remains — earlier `install.sh.le

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

**The stdin contour is load-bearing.** Activation runs on the first COMPLETE JSON object, not at EOF, with a 2000ms `PAYLOAD_WATCHDOG_MS` backstop and `process.stdin.unref()` in `finish()`. `pause()` alone is not enough

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.
