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

terminal-title 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/set_title.ps1, scripts/set_title.sh), 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.

Terminal Title

Updates terminal window title to: $TERMINAL_TITLE_EMOJI ProjectName - Topic

When to Invoke

You MUST actively monitor conversation flow and invoke this skill whenever the topic materially shifts. Do not wait for explicit permission.

DO invoke:

  • Session start (default topic: "Claude Code")
  • "let's talk about X" / "can you tell me about Y" → invoke immediately
  • User switches domains: debugging → docs, frontend → backend, feature → tests
  • User starts working on different module/component after sustained discussion
  • User asks about completely unrelated topic

Do NOT invoke:

  • Follow-up questions on same topic ("add a comment to that function")
  • Small refinements to current work ("make it blue")
  • Clarifications about current task

Workflow

  1. Determine project name — Use human-friendly name from context (git repo, package.json, README heading, or directory basename as fallback). Capitalize properly ("OneOnOne" not "oneonone").

  2. Determine topic — Short description (2-4 words) from current conversation context. Default to "Claude Code" at session start.

  3. Execute the title command. Prefer the stable wrapper; fall back to the bundled script.

    Preferred (cross-harness, stable approval surface):

    set-terminal-title "ProjectName" "Topic"
    

    Fallback (when the wrapper isn't installed):

    Unix/macOS/Linux:

    bash <skill-base-dir>/scripts/set_title.sh "ProjectName" "Topic"
    

    Windows:

    pwsh -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File <skill-base-dir>/scripts/set_title.ps1 "ProjectName" "Topic"
    

    The script reads $TERMINAL_TITLE_EMOJI from the environment (defaults to 🎉) and writes terminal escape sequences. If neither command is available or the call fails, skip silently — do not surface the failure to the user.

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.
