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

zhihu 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (methods/via_tikhub.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Overview

Zhihu is a major Chinese question-and-answer platform with long-form posts, answer threads, and high-signal technical comparisons. It is useful when the user wants Chinese-language reasoning, practical experience reports, or side-by-side discussion of tools and products.

For autosearch coverage, this channel brings native Chinese discourse that is not well represented on English platforms. It matters because many Chinese developer and user communities publish nuanced tutorials, migration notes, and comparative buying advice directly on Zhihu.

When to Choose It

  • Choose it for Chinese or mixed-language queries about technical tradeoffs, tutorials, or product comparisons.
  • Choose it when user experience reports and long-form answers are more useful than short posts.
  • Choose it for developer opinion in Chinese around frameworks, devices, services, or workflow tools.
  • Prefer it over general social feeds when depth and explanation matter.
  • Avoid it for breaking news or formal paper lookup.

How To Search (Planned)

  • via_tikhub - Use TikHub's paid Zhihu article search API for direct article discovery without relying on local cookies.
  • api_search - Use Zhihu search endpoints to discover questions, answers, and articles matching the query, then extract canonical URLs and brief snippets.
  • api_answer_detail - Fetch fuller answer detail for shortlisted posts using authenticated endpoints when a cookie is available.
  • api_answer_detail - Normalize answer author, vote count, created time, question title, and answer body excerpt for downstream ranking.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
