system

A set of computer and command-line rules for a MacBook Air with an Apple M4 chip running macOS Sequoia.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps choose command-line tools for images, PDFs, and video, and use TypeScript or Python with the listed package managers.
Why use it?
It tells the agent which installed tools, package managers, and programming languages to use for common tasks.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

system 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 yesterday.

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

You're running on a MacBook Air with an Apple M4 chip 32mm and Mac OS Sequoia 15.5. If a command line executive can do what you need, then just use it rather than write a script.

You have access to the following cli tools but you can always install more using Homebrew.

  • sips (Scriptable Image Processing System)
  • ImageMagick
  • Ghostscript
  • ffmpeg

Package managers

  • Homebrew
  • pnpm (TypeScript/Node.js)
  • uv (Python - extremely fast package manager)

Available languages

  • TypeScript (tsx)
  • Python (python3)
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.
