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 B, and why

llm-agents.nix AGENTS.md scanned grade B 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 4d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" | sudo tee -a /etc/nix/nix.conf

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

Repository Guidelines

Project Structure & Module Organization

  • Root: flake.nix, flake.lock, devshell.nix, README.md.
  • Packages live under packages/<tool>/ with package.nix, optional update.py, and lockfiles when needed.
  • Formatting config: packages/formatter/treefmt.nix.
  • Utilities and docs: scripts/, docs/, .github/.

Build, Test, and Development Commands

  • Enter dev shell: nix develop.
  • Build a package: nix build --accept-flake-config .#<package> (e.g., nix build .#claude-code).
  • Run without installing: nix run .#<package> -- --help.
  • Repo checks (builds + lints): nix flake check.
  • Format everything: nix fmt.
  • Regenerate README package section: ./scripts/generate-package-docs.nu.

Coding Style & Naming Conventions

  • Indentation: 2 spaces; avoid tabs.
  • Nix: small, composable derivations; prefer buildNpmPackage/rustPlatform.buildRustPackage/stdenv.mkDerivation as in existing packages.
  • File layout per package: package.nix (definition), update.py (optional custom updater), nix-update-args (optional nix-update flags). package.nix is called from a scope that contains all in-repo packages and helpers (buildNpmPackage, wrapBuddy, formatelf, versionCheckHomeHook, bun2nixLib, platformSource, flake, ...), so declaring one of these names as a function argument is enough.
  • Tools via treefmt: nixfmt, deadnix, shfmt, shellcheck, mdformat, yamlfmt, taplo. Always run nix fmt before committing.

Updating Packages

Prefer nix-update over custom update scripts. Most packages can be updated with:

nix run nixpkgs#nix-update -- --flake <package>

For this to work, package.nix must have version/hash attributes inline (not loaded from JSON):

buildGoModule rec {
  pname = "example";
  version = "1.0.0";  # nix-update finds and updates this

  src = fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "owner";
    repo = "repo";
    rev = "v${version}";
    hash = "sha256-...";  # nix-update updates this
  };

  subPackages = [ "." ];  # for go find the relevant packages containing the binary

  vendorHash = "sha256-...";  # nix-update updates this too
}

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.
