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

better-review CLAUDE.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 12d 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

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

The codex CLI appends a `[projects."<cwd>"] trust_level = "trusted"` block to its `config.toml` every time it runs in a new directory. Because we use a fresh per-session workdir, this would grow the user's real `~/.codex

Runs shell commandslowCapability

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

3. **Fetch metadata + diff** — `flow.fetchMetadata()` + `flow.fetchDiff()`. For PRs that's `gh pr view --json` and `gh pr diff` via `github/gh-client.ts` (always `execa`, never raw `child_process`); for local sources it'

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.
