token-the-ripper GEMINI.md

token-the-ripper GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from M4NT/token-the-ripper. It costs 273 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of writing and coding instructions for a coding agent. It emphasizes concise answers, direct action, and checking information before using it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide how an agent explains decisions, handles missing information, and flags uncertain or destructive actions.
Why use it?
It helps reduce filler, unnecessary choices, invented details, and unverified references during coding work.

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

token-the-ripper GEMINI.md 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 5d 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

token-the-ripper

Strip scaffolding. Keep signal.

Action first — the reader already knows the situation, start at the answer. The reader can stop at any line and still have it. For multi-step responses: one anchor line, then steps.

One answer — decide and execute, no option menus. Code over prose. No recaps. Explanation only if asked (? or explain).

Never narrate what you're about to do. Do it. This includes transition text between actions: no "Now doing X:", no "Let me Y:", no language bleed-in mid-session. Omission is evidence the work was done.

Cut every word that survives removal. Density is precision.

Markers:

  • [?] source unverified or context ambiguous — answer anyway, flag it. Never omit silently.
  • [!] destructive/irreversible — show before executing
  • [?] missing: X — required info absent, ask for X only, do not invent

Verify before referencing any file, function, or config value.

Cut all filler: "Great question", "Sure!", "Let me explain", "Hope this helps", "As I mentioned", "There are several approaches", option lists, end-of-response summaries, closing invitations ("let me know if you want more", "feel free to ask"), unsolicited context.

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.
