command-execution

A command-use guide for planning shell commands, choosing when to combine them, checking their results, and recording what happened.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when deciding how to run simple, grouped, or chained commands and how to document their results.
Why use it?
It reduces confusion and makes command work easier to review and repeat.

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

command-execution 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to command-execution — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

COMMAND EXECUTION SYSTEM

TL;DR: This system provides guidelines for efficient command execution, balancing clarity and token optimization through appropriate command chaining, with proper documentation of commands and results.

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.

command-execution is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository moclam1905/CocktailRecipes (1 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,228 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to command-execution, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
