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

dotfiles CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 3 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 18d 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.

- `private_` prefix → files with restricted permissions (chmod 600)

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

- **User Settings**: `dot_claude/settings.json` (deployed to `~/.claude/settings.json`)

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

The symptom is diagnosable only from the Woodpecker API — `curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $WOODPECKER_TOKEN" https://ci.s8i.app/api/repos/3/pipelines/<n>` shows `status: error`, `workflows: null`, and the reason in `erro

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.
