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

syndicate-ingest-twitter 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 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.

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

/syndicate-ingest-twitter

You are running Twitter ingestion via a Playwright-controlled Chrome profile. This writes to the DB and launches Chrome — only run when the user explicitly asked.

Step 1 — preflight

Run status and check env_present.CHROME_EXECUTABLE and env_present.CHROME_PROFILE_DIR. If either is false, tell the user how to set them (see syndicate's README) and stop. The scraper will refuse to authenticate without a valid persistent profile.

Step 2 — scrape

Default lookback is 2 days. Parse $ARGUMENTS for --days N (default 2) and --headless true|false (default true — matches launchd):

cd "${SYNDICATE_REPO:-$(pwd)}" && uv run python -m pipeline.cli ingest-twitter --days ${days:-2} --headless ${headless:-true}

This can take 5–20 minutes depending on how many handles are configured and how active they've been. The skill runs in a forked subagent context so progress logs don't pollute the parent agent's history.

Step 3 — report

One line:

✓ twitter · fetched=X saved=Y skipped=Z failed=W

If failed > 0, surface error patterns: strict-mode locator violations, captcha pages, X.com rate limits, or persistent-profile auth loss all show up here. For auth loss specifically, the remediation is to re-run scripts/setup_agent.sh and re-do the manual X login.

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.
