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

tiger-slack CLAUDE.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 2mo 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.

Tiger Slack - AI-Powered Slack Analytics Platform

This project provides AI-accessible Slack workspace analytics through real-time data ingestion, TimescaleDB storage, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration for Claude Code.

Architecture Overview

  • ingest/ - Python service for real-time Slack event ingestion and historical data import
  • mcp/ - TypeScript MCP server providing AI-accessible APIs for Slack data analysis
  • TimescaleDB - Time-series database optimized for Slack message storage and analytics
  • Docker Compose - Local development environment with all services

Development Commands

Service Management

docker compose up -d          # Start all services (TimescaleDB, ingest, MCP server)
docker compose down           # Stop all services  
docker compose logs -f        # View service logs
docker compose restart        # Restart all services
docker compose down -v && docker compose up -d  # Reset with fresh volumes
docker compose down -v --remove-orphans && docker system prune -f --volumes && docker compose up -d --build  # Complete rebuild (destroys all data)

Database Access

psql -d "postgres://tsdbadmin:password@localhost:5432/tsdb"  # Connect to TimescaleDB via psql

MCP Integration Setup

# Add Logfire MCP to Claude Code (requires LOGFIRE_READ_TOKEN in .env)
claude mcp add -s project logfire -e LOGFIRE_READ_TOKEN="your-token-here" -- uvx logfire-mcp@latest

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.
